11:03 am
while british subs will increase rotations from 2026 by 2030 to australia, 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. 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 is the situation that china has as created and brought upon itself very much like go russia has it in the ukraine. china's gigi and paying his called the august plan, an effort to encircle and contain his country view as, as missouri. here is
11:04 am
a nuclear powered virginia class. attacks of mine, the kind of us will send to australia is that country developed the capacity to build its own nuclear subs go 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 a mark as a senior research fellow at the sense of china and globalization. he says the deal will have a destabilizing effect on the asia 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, 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
11:06 am
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 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 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. russia has agreed to extend the ukraine green export deal after talks with the un, but only 60 days, half the length of the previous agreement. the grain export packed has helped ease the global food crisis, triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine,

11:17 am
soviet rule. up to 20000 was shot mainly during joseph stollins, great terror from 1936 to 39. last more she was arrested and shot their guides from the soviet past research laboratory. take tours across tbilisi to remind people of life in the soviet union. this regime has the propaganda, whole wide propaganda that it's their bright. i'll turn a to west. it's a fierce tate, it's a free state. it's the state of their elaborate and the piece and all of this pro program they walked and also is working today which is used by russia as a tool of the information one machine. but such, such kind of buildings are illustrating the real face of the regime. recent history has helped cement many georgia suspicions of post soviet russia. moscow is back separatists in the georgia regions of up cars and south of cetera. they bought a war with russia in 200-828-0000 georgians were expelled now,
11:18 am
living as exiles in our own country, 90 percent of georgians. according to recent polling, believe russia posey is the greatest political threat to that country. russia always betrays georgia, it's in their nature, they pretend there are allies, but in reality, there are enemies on those views help explain why protests by tens of thousands of georgians, force the government to scrap a foreign agent law that was viewed as being modeled and one in russia, where it's been used to crack down on descent, anti russian graffiti is everywhere. and typically see the interior ministry says 112 russians are here. glad reason can arrived 12 months ago and was worried about how he'd be accepted. my friends and i was a little bit nor was coming to this process because i do even need to be here is our war or georgia. but when you asking locals,
11:19 am
they have full support on russia and helping them. and i think it's amazing that this stuff, united people, the russian influx has made georgia, one of the fastest growing economies in the world. but opposition parties, a calling for a visa regime for russians. echoing the suspicions many georgians feel towards the new arrivals. bernard smith, al jazeera tbilisi, ga judicial inquiry, is on the way in greece to bring justice to so the $57.00 people killed when a passenger train glided, had on with a freight train last month. some of the responsibility could fall on the italian state railway group, which operates greece as passenger trains. this also anger of the government, as john, so hopeless reports from athens. throughout greece, there is fury with the government by its own admission. it failed to install safety systems that could have told human operators, 2 trains were on
11:20 am
a collision course. many of those killed were students. one of them, a colleague of finals vanities it's just unimaginable that on a country's my central rail route. you wouldn't have a backup system that tells you what direction to train for traveling. whether they're going to collide greek grill has largely relied on human systems centered on this room inside the hellenic railways organization headquarters. this is the nerve center of the greek rail network, a central traffic coordinator sense at this desk. train drivers give him their whereabouts through this vhf radio system, and he plots their progress on this paper chart. but this completely manually operated system is not all knowing a local station master can switch tracks without telling the coordinator. that is what happened on the night of february 28th, when, according to leaked testimony, a station master's switching mistake. since the northbound passenger train, 62 up
11:21 am
a south bound track into an oncoming freight train. killing 57 people. a veteran head of rail security says that mistake wouldn't have happened in the days when 3 people sat in this room. and as other wash head brush, there used to be an experienced train driver and an experience train inspector who sat with a traffic coordinator. they were in contact with station masters and trained drivers across the country. if any mistakes happened, they were fixed within 2 or 3 minutes he had a night trained in the way with that institution. in late 2024, the imprint, your line hellenic train is the hellenic railways organization subsidiary that runs greek passenger trains. it was sold to the italian state railways group in 2017 to cut costs. the italian management abolished route checking inspectors on trains over examiners. if the inspectors duties had been left intact, train $62.00 wouldn't have left the station on the wrong track. and if he had,
11:22 am
he would have used the emergency brake. yeah. if the attending company doesn't want to enforce, say tables and they can return the shares in hellenic train under the great states can go home. hellenic train didn't respond to our requests for comment. what's clear is that the greek state failed to install 21st century safety technology, and that the italian train operator cut stuff with safety rules. 57 people died in the crash rail, expert se was utterly avoidable. jobs are awful, us al jazeera atoms. hello, we has declared a state of disaster. after tropical cyclone freddy hit the country for a 2nd time in less than 3 weeks. as many as 136 people have died in malawi, madagascar of mozambique victoria gaten, b reports. they dig to find survivors buried under the mud, but hopes of finding people alive or fading fast, dozens or missing from this village in malawi,
11:23 am
after tropical storm. freddy tore through it with you. have i have heard of it. i am helping to find the victims. i know there are more bodies that are still buried so far between 20 and 20. 5 bodies been recovered from the debris and ruined houses and most of them up and buried the hospital. but they all looked dead. i think freddy is one of the strongest storms ever recorded in the southern hemisphere. and the longest, lasting little with sped by the storm. renewed watch um if i'm in a hurry muscle. so now it was to bed in the night. but now that it is day time, i can feel the loss. i have never seen something as terrible as this. my neighbor's house is all organic. the family members are gone. they are missing. in some cases the father is a life, but the wife and the children aren't aren't on the same. storm. pummeled central mozambique on saturday, ripping reeves of buildings and bringing with it wide spread flooding. tens of thousands of homes are damaged. the un says more than half

11:26 am
sliding across mozambique with a legacy of showers, still running their way all the way back into southern parts of malawi. eventually we will start to see it pushed back out into the mozambique channel, but the winds have dropped light as they say they really have began to. we're ease off noticeably now. we'll see some wet weather, grassy, making his way towards that western side of madagascar as he go on through the next couple of days. still showers there to mozambique southern parts of malawi, but nowhere near as heavy as they have been recently. by friday, we should grassy see things start to normalize, somewhat still a fair few showers there into a good part of madagascar, and also a good part of mozambique adrian. but things will slowly improve as a manufacturer will see you again in a few moments. everson fox, now in the philippines fishermen are holding a protest at sea underwater mining from minerals and the construction of an airport is affecting communities in the region south of manila, the fisherman,
