7:02 am
prime ministers of australia and britain in california. john hendern reports from point loma naval base in san diego. it is a bold effort to shift the balance of power in the pacific. the leaders of the u. s . the u. k. and australia cementing a plan to deploy nuclear powered submarines from the australian coast on press it at a trilateral cooperation. i believe his testament to the strength of the longstanding ties united is under our shared commitment. our insure the end up pacific remains free and open. prosperous and secure, the plan will take decades to complete. the defense alliance called arcus, has already begun with the 1st of hundreds of australians embedding in u. s. and u. k. submarine building programs. more u. s. subs will start visiting australia this year, while british subs will increase rotations from 2026 by 2030 to australia,
7:03 am
plans to buy 3 nuclear powered subs containing conventional weapons from the us, with the option of buying 2 more. and sometime in the 20 forty's, australia expects to have its own nuclear, so built by the u. k. and australia using u. s. technology. the orchestra gray met. we confirm hearing sandy, i represent the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about history. the biggest threat in the pacific comes from an increasingly aggressive china, which has built new fortifications in the south china sea. it's a situation that china has, as created and brought upon itself very much like girl russia has in the ukraine, china's she's in pain is called the august plan, an effort to encircle and contain his country view as, as missouri. here is a nuclear powered virginia class attack submarine. the kind of us will send to australia is that country developed the capacity to build its own nuclear subs go
7:04 am
longer, farther and faster than conventional subs. and that's a big advantage. the new fleet, replacing australia's aging diesel force requires the u. s. and u. k to boost their nuclear ship building capacity and to build one in australia from scratch. but ultimately, the defense of our values depends, as it always has on the quality of our relationships with others, with china engage in its own submarine building program and flexing its muscles in the south china sea. the 3 english speaking arcus nations are betting that together . they can better counterbalanced the size of china's naval force. john henderson al jazeera san diego, and sarah clark gives us the perspective on this from brisbin, australia. entity albanese is declaring this as a new dawn for australia's defense policy. it is the largest defense acquisition in australia's history with a cost of about $250000000000.00 over the next 30 years. now it does have bilateral
7:05 am
support in federal parliament and is expected to create up to $20000.00 jobs over the next few decades across industry, defense and public service. now the key is to boosted of defense capabilities sharing between the 3 navies because they're using the same common technology. but the government's hoping that this agreement will act as a deterrent in the face of increasing foreign threats. in particular, china, in the endo pacific region, tim will raise the cost for, for china, if it's contemplating any kind of military action. now of course, it's gonna take some time for strategy to acquire this capability is trying government has offered china a briefing on the lightest details of this charlottesville security agreement. but richard miles, the defense minister says he's yet to get a response out of beijing. but we do know that china has been highly critical of its agreement and what it was 1st announced had noted that it exacerbates the arms, right. it hurts pace and stability in the region. and they've also urged australia
7:06 am
the u. k. in the us to abandon what beijing coals is the cold war mentality. now, australia relationship with china had been on the mend. we'd seen the 2 ladies sheet in pink and anthony albanese made on the sidelines of the g 20 meeting. and this, of course, was after a decade of turbulence under the former prime minister, scott morrison. but in it's unlikely that china will take warmly to the lightest detail of this is a security agreement. i am what is considered the largest defense acquisition in australia's history. any mark as the senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization, and he says the orcus deal will have a destabilizing effect on the indo pacific region. i think this only strengthens the view ah, that has been articulated by president c and things on the foreign minister that if the u. s. continues down this pass. ah, it raises the risk of outright conflict. and of course, this is not good for china,
7:07 am
but it's also not good for the us as well as we all know. the u. s. is economically intertwined with china, as are many other countries around the world. so these destabilizing actions really are counterproductive, in many, many aspects. for the u. s. is, in a sense, has one tool to play, which is, or to use, which is it's military. what if we look at china's approach, of course it invest in is upgrading its military capabilities, but it is making significant gains on the diplomatic front. we need to look no further than the recent or on saudi arabia. rapprochement china's role in a ukraine peace plan initiatives in the pacific. that's one very, very important aspect. the economic aspect, of course, is very important as china ah, is offering an increasingly growing and sophisticated market to countries all
7:08 am
around the world, including the united states. in terms of information as well, i think china, we can see making advances in this area, perhaps the least developed so far, but certainly are advancing on all fronts. whereas i think the u. s. is perhaps overly relying on only a military approach to dealing with its anxieties and fears about china. also, on monday, president biden approved a major oil drilling project in the us state of alaska. the $8000000000.00 plan led by oil giant conoco. phillips has been strongly opposed by climate activists. they say undermines, the administration has pledged a slow climate change. the approval comes a day after the government announced limits on the oil drilling and $60000000.00 acres in alaska and the arctic ocean. this project could produce up to 180000 barrels of oil a day according to the company over 30 years. that is more than 600000000 barrels
7:09 am
of crude. but extracting and using that oil could produce more than 278000000 tons of greenhouse gases. over that same time, willow is the largest proposed oil drilling plan on us public land and the biggest oil field in alaska for decades. every graph is the deputy managing attorney to the earth, justice alaska regional office. he says these large scale projects will lock in carbon emissions that add to climate change. this administration has done a lot for climate. this undermines things seriously and is a big disappointment. it's projected to produce over 570000000 barrels of oil releasing 260000000 metric tons of covered backside. so that's like putting 56000000 cars on the road for a year or 69 coal fired power plants burning for one year.
7:10 am
these types of emissions are ones that we cannot afford if we're going to avoid the worst in climate change. and the project like the willow project is meant to go on for 30 years. so it locks in these carbon emissions, which we can't afford today well into the future. and as a result, there's just no room in the budget for these types of mega projects. stocks, insole in tokyo, open sharply down on tuesday as investors consider the fallout from the collapse of to us banks and uncertainties over the federal reserves. monetary tightening us president joe biden tried to reassure americans that the countries banking system is safe. that follows the collapse of signature bank and silicon valley bank biden says customers and taxpayers will not be or any losses. id, joe castro has more now on this from santa clara in california. there is no longer
7:11 am
a line of worried customers outside this failed silicon valley bank after the government announced that all the deposits here are now insured. that means for the tech companies that bank here, like roku at sea and ro blocks, hundreds of millions of dollars, possibly evaporating over night, is no longer the immediate concert. right now, federal banking regulator is control as the baby. and it is the nation's 16th largest bank that had operated for nearly 4 decades until fridays sudden collapse. so how did that happen? well, the federal reserves aggressive efforts to tame inflation by raising interest rates meant that businesses had a hard time getting loans. so they turn to using their cash reserves and to keep up with the demand for withdrawals. as phoebe was forced to sell its long term investments at a loss, and last week the bank announced it could no longer keep up. customers panic,
7:12 am
there was a run on the bank and in this digital age it took mere days for as phoebe to fail. so now, banking regulators are searching for a healthier bank to buy up as phoebe's assets. and questions are being asked about whether this could have been prevented. the federal reserve is launching a review. and s b b shareholders have filed a lawsuit claiming that bank executives misled investors by not fully disclosing the impact of rising interest rates. all that said, and with the fear of possible contagion to more banks, still a concern. interest rates in the u. s. will still likely receive another hike next week when the federal board meets hydro, castro al jazeera, santa clara, california. the u. k. parliament has been debating a bill aimed at curbing the number of asylum seekers who arrive on british shores and small boats. the new all will ban migrants from returning to the u. k, from claiming asylum,

7:15 am
a $577000000.00 deal with grants to boost surveillance and policing on french sure to intercept more thoughts before they leave and break the business model of the gang. but many want to see more investment into so called safe and legal rates for those fleeing war and persecution. beyond parliament, more than $350.00 businesses, charities, unions, and legal groups have condemned the policy on a legal migration is cruel and unworkable. and urging the government to rethink the policy. but prime minister richie soon acts as he wants to push the bill through to become law. hopefully by august, charlie angela al jazeera london. israel's parliament has passed the 1st reading of key bills and the government's controversial judicial reforms plans if they become law, parliament would be able to strike down decisions by the supreme court with a simple majority, the reforms would also limit the court's ability to remove a prime minister, the plans have drawn mass protest,
