least 3 nuclear submarines from the united states. joe biden call did an inflection point in history. china says that is a dangerous road. how would impact global security and markets in asia think as reassurances from president biden failed to calm fears of contagion after the collapse of 2 regional banks in the united states. ah, i'm sorry, kelly. welcome to the program. keith and moscow are both suffering heavy losses as fighting intensifies in the eastern city of bock. mote. it is where the heaviest fighting has taken place in the year long war. president lensky over night vow to quote, destroy russia. they're saying that ukraine's future depends on the outcome of what

happens in bach, mood and other key areas. now, there are doubts that defending the city is the best strategy for ukraine. here is more up against the longest and bloodiest battle of moscow's of invasion to battle for bach moot. do ukrainian unit fires back, sending our freshman attempts to take control of this city center. ah, fierce fighting has inflicted heavy losses on both sides. that ukraine says the battle for bar moot is one of the decisive fights for its future. does result on us would you? the situation in the east is very tough, very painful. we need to destroy the enemy's military power and we will be low. horace, gear and muddy anchor of div kid and bar mood. will glinda and come younger and all

other places were a future is being decided and the future of all ukrainians is being fought for. grains viejo. russia has been trying to capture the eastern ukrainian city for months. so far. russian mercenaries have only managed to encircle back moot. moscow is now intensifying its campaign. delivering ammunition to wagner fighters who have been spearheading the attack on bar mood. all some or 1000 residents are stolen near town according to an official tele, despite the fierce fighting in and around it program or progression commanders, the capture of the city would mean an opportunity not to deliver good news to the kremlin grass the course of which and earlier i spoke with correspondent mathias ballinger about the debate of different experts are about ukraine's decision to

keep on fighting and defending back. lot losses of the ukrainian side are presumably also very high. we don't have exact figures as always from either either side, the ukrainians. keep maintaining that the russian losses are much higher, and that is why it's worth stopping them there and not retreating and then taking the fight to the next town are, which will then have the same fate as bad mood. that's those who defend ukraine's actions. inbox mood are saying the others campus saying that the losses are way too high and that these soldiers will also be missing for further offensive operations and job. it's not worth throwing in so many soldiers into a battle that seems to be really hard to win. and a yard through kind in leadership has decided to continue holding back more precisely for the reason that they do not want the battle to go further into

ukrainian territory. not they would do not want her to cry matters. the main city in the region targeted or slowdowns, the 2nd a main city. it's not a strategic a location in the sense that it would open a or, you know, lots of roads into the country. there's, there are few, few roads that lead to these 2 cities that i've just mentioned, but it's not a major transport hub. it's not a hill that you conquer, and then you can move beyond the hill or something like that. and that was spontaneous pulling, i'm keith. china has criticized a plan by australia to buy at least 3 nuclear powered submarines from the u. s. and the u. k. beijing accused the 3 countries of going quote, further down a dangerous road and of disregarding the concerns of the international community.

the u. s. u. k. and australia unveiled the plans on monday as they held a meeting of their new and controversial security alliance known as office oh, a hearty welcome for the 3 global leaders. they've come together, 2 unknowns, not just a major arms deal, but a historic strategic partnership. the oak is agreement. we confirm hearing sandy, i represent the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about history. australia will buy as many as 5 of these nuclear powered submarines and later build a new on themselves based on a british design with u. s. technology, it's a long time upgrade that will make australia fill partner in fielding top secret us nuclear technology. previously only shared with the u. k. warden has been partnership. we're showing again how democracies can deliver our own security to

prosperity and not just for us, but for the entire world. august is an attempt to counter growing chinese military power, which includes beijing's construction of a sophisticated naval fleet. britain is also beating up its military capabilities. it is more important than ever that we strengthen the resilience of our own countries. that's why the u. k. is today announcing a significant list and our defense budget. we're providing an extra 5000000000 pounds over the next 2 years. cluster alia isn't getting nuclear weapons, but the nuclear propulsion of the new submarine fleet will add substantial strength to the western alliance. and bait gill is executive director for china analysis at the asian society policy institute. he explained how this new cooperation between australia and the u. k. and the u. last could counter chinese influence the

major major step forward. i would say certainly for the military technical cooperation across these 3 powers the, the issue here is that it's going to take many, many years for it to be fully in place. and there are a couple of stop gap measures over the near term there. well, we'll have a real impact on countering a chinese military expansion in this region. particularly with the rotation, the plant rotation of up to 5 us nuclear, propelled or nuclear submarines which will be based here in australia. remind us of how china has been acting in the region recently. well, over the last 10 or 15 years, the chinese military has really grown quite considerably. and both quite quantitative and qualitative terms. we see

a lot more presence of touch of the chinese military and asserting its claims, for example, in the south china sea. and of course, increasingly assertive and aggressive even in its military activities toward taiwan. and it's these and increasingly, apparently trying to expand its presence in the western pacific much closer trust, really shores. so in all of these ways, i think we see much, much greater concern on the part of australia, as well as honest partners, as well as in as partners united states in the united kingdom. how about other countries in the pacific region? how are they reacting to what is rising tension between china and the united states especially? well, it's a mixed picture. i would say, i mean, i think obviously this, the countries of south these days are, for example, don't want to be forced to choose between the economic benefit they gain in their relationship with china on the one hand versus the sort of security benefits they

can gain from american power in the region, but i think they're increasingly seeing that this is going to be a difficult set of tensions over time. and the last thing they want to do is be caught in the middle of it. so i think there's increased anxiety across the region about the direction in the us china relations right now. a scale in sydney. thank you so much. a stock market in asia declined sharply on tuesday as concerns over the health of global financial markets deepen. u. s. president joe biden has promised to do whatever is needed to strengthen american financial institutions after the collapse of both signature bank and silicon valley bank biden has told americans that their banking system is safe, even as fears of another u. s. banking crisis rise. the 2 bank failures are the worst since the 2008 global financial crisis. and they've taken their toll on the markets. it was

less likely this kind of bank failure would happen again. those rules were introduced after u. s. bank spock to global financial crisis in 2008 by aggressive mortgage lending . they were partially repealed in 2018 under them president donald trump. in the coming days, that decision is likely to be back in the spotlights in tennis will had now to the indian wells masters in california. the reigning champions and the men's and the women signals have been showing off their class. but some heavy hitters had to say good bye. in the women's draw raining wimbledon champion, eleanor re bucking, i ousted former indian wells when apollo, but also to claim her spot in the last 16 but the biggest upset in the women's draw . so weld member for all sir burn knocked out by market. val drew sofa, who was ranked 100 and 5th, after beating jabber at the australian open in january. the 23 year old check again
