8:02 am
u. s. president joe biden hosted the prime ministers of australia and britain in california. john henderson 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 are unprecedented. trilateral cooperation, i believe, is testament to the strength of the longstanding ties united's and our shared commitment of ensure. the end of 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,
8:03 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 2000 and forty's, australia expects to have its own nuclear, so built by the u. k. in 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 attacks of mine. the kind of us will send to australia as that country develops. the capacity to build its own nuclear subs go
8:04 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, sarah clark gives us the perspective from brisbin, australia. anthony albanese is declaring this as a new dawn 1st rally as 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
8:05 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 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 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 trilateral 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
8:06 am
the u. k. in the us to abandon what beijing coals is the cold war mentality. australia's relationship with china had been on the mend. we'd seen the 2 latest 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. and the mock is the senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization. and he says, the august deal will actually have a destabilizing effect on the indo pacific region. i think this only strengthens the view that has been articulated by presidency and think the foreign minister that if the u. s. continues down this path, ah, it raises the risk of outright conflict. of course, this is not good for china,
8:07 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, these stabilizing actions really are counterproductive in many, many aspects. 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 iran 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 is offering an increasingly growing and sophisticated
8:08 am
market to countries all 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 u. s. state of alaska. the $8000000.00 plan led by oil giant conoco. phillips has been strongly opposed by climate activists. they said undermines the administration's pledge to slow climate change. while the approval actually comes a day after the government announced limits on oil drilling in 16000000 acres in alaska and the arctic ocean. this project could produce up to a 180000 barrels of oil a day according to the company. now that's more than 600000000 barrels of crude over 30 years. but extracting and using that oil could produce more than 278000000
8:09 am
tons of greenhouse gases over the project lifespan. willow is the largest proposed oil drilling, playing on the plan on us public land, and the biggest oil field in alaska for decades. paragraph is the deputy managing attorney for the earth justice alaska regional office. he says these large scale projects the lock in carbon emissions that add to climate change. this administration has done a law for climate, but 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.
8:10 am
these types of emissions are ones that we can 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. it locks in these carbon emission which we can't afford today well into the future. and as a result, there's just no room in the carbon budget for these types of mega projects. the stocks and sole and tokyo open sharply down on tuesday and the fallout from the collapse of to us banks. us president joe biden tried to reassure americans at the countries banking system is safe. the collapse of silicon valley bank is the largest failure of the us bank since the 2008 global financial crisis. kimberly hallett has more after a weekend of dramatic whitehouse emergency actions before us president joe biden on monday announced that the banking system is safe. but it made the announcement

8:12 am
selling off silicon valley banks asset. the banks funding their own bail out not the tax pair is a key difference from 2008 when the troubled asset relief program or tarp use taxpayer money to purchase $700000000000.00 and toxic assets from the banks. and unlike in 2008, those who sought to make money through investments also won't be saved with taxpayer funds. investors in the banks will not be protected. they knowingly took a risk, and when the risk didn't pay off, investors lose their money. that's how capitalism works. on monday anxious customers waited outside new york signature bank, everyone should be worried for the fall out from the bank in crisis isn't just an economic problem for president by then, but also a political one was still soaring,
8:13 am
inflation and an economy in recovery. the white house knows the president can't afford any new economic shocks. justice he said to announce his 2024 presidential reelection campaign. kimberly held hit al jazeera, the white house. israel's parliament has passed the 1st reading of key bills and the government's controversial. judicial reforms plans are watching live pictures of the message right now. if they become law, the parliament would be able to strike down decisions by the supreme court with a simple majority reforms. and also limit the court's ability to remove a prime minister. plans have drawn mass protests and rear intervention by the president's bill for that lifted, the u. k. parliament has been debating a bill aimed at curbing the numbers of asylum seekers who arrive on british shores in small boats. the new law will ban migrants from returning to the u. k, claiming asylum, or seeking british citizenship in the future. charlie angela takes a closer look at this plan by the u. k. government

would done is just creating even more just a journey for me to take. and i would know exactly would i make it on or no, making all outside parliament protest his voice, the opposition to the proposals rights groups argue the law would break the un convention on refugees and other commitments. the u. k. has made to human rights many legal challenges lie ahead and then there were the practical challenges with a backlog of a 160000 people waiting for an answer when they're assigned them. applications. detention centers already overflowing emergency accommodation in hotels costs $6000000.00 a day. the question is, where will the new arrivals be detained and how much would it cost? pounds, supporting on friday, britain signed a $577000000.00 deal with grants to boost surveillance and policing on french to
8:16 am
intercept more states 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 or the legal migration is cruel and unworkable. and urging the government to rethink the policy that prime minister richie soon acts as he wants to push the bill through to become law. hopefully by august salanza al jazeera london and still ahead on al 0. the colombian government appears to return to the negotiating table with rebel groups to end a decades long conflict. also, latin america and the caribbean had been granted access to crucial satellite information. we'll be looking at how the region will be putting that to use steamers. ah
