the that was trying to cross from human baseline, but this amount to a crime against humanity. saudi arabia denies any abuses, full killings at the front. that's it's the from me, from out of a world news update for you at the top of the dunk. oh, what kind of go next? is the news asia with furious about. god ok, thanks for the have to say to us the that's why i listen to their stories. the reporter, every weekend on d. w. the one to know what's going on in rhodes?

now, a group of friends is getting ready for an unforgettable night. someone is in wiring . this beauty, this is rhodes. now. now is the time for you to book your trip to rhodes rhodes, what you love? he's, he's the basically the news a shot coming up today. china and russia, i step up the, the tree cooperation in the, in the pacific. the navy's of both countries recently conducted joint patrols and drills in the pacific ocean, a path to and that's been playing out since the start of the ukraine world. so why are both countries stepping out for me to take 12 pollution and how big countries in the region respond and drawing comes of racism in society leaves monday shows l g b sitting alone and under pressure the

i'm good. i just kind of do welcome to the new news aisha. i'm glad you could join us over the weekend. the navy's of russia and china ended 3 weeks of joint drills and patrols rushes of the exercises in the pacific ocean, covered everything from replenishment to supplies, etc, to empty somebody in drills mc rescue training. join us at the drills, want aimed at the cold 3rd party that didn't prevent japan, however, from scrambling. fighter jets on fridays off. the russian patrol aircraft was seen off the sea of japan and the east china sea and gentlemen of a more context is ian strong. he's a political scientist of the national university of single and specializes an

international relations in the asia pacific. and chinese, a foreign policy professor strong. in addition to this latest patrol, there was a joint air patrol just last july over the sea of japan and the east china sea in addition to at least 5 military exercises. last, the question is, why are china and russia stepping up with the tree cooperation in the pacific or so with the russian trying to relationship? one of the things that they're trying to do is to count to what they see as us competition and us pressure. and by having the exercises and it is right in the pacific new us allies, i guess it sends a signal that the, the russians and the chinese come together put pressure on, on washington where washington with things we method for washington. so i guess that's a what a shot across the bow to not a passive push russia to fall in,

in the ukraine and also not to push the p. c to fall in the, in the pacific. you know, one is signaling and then the other is if you're i left to you and the reason i asked that is because you actually see a scenario, for instance, in which russian naval troops come to the aid of chinese ships in the south china sea for example, so the russian able presents in this part of the world, especially in a south china seas, but more limited. um for them to sustain operations. um they would need a lot of re supply right now. you know, russia is quite stretched because of its aggression and ukraine. so i guess what we could see more is perhaps some sort of collaboration or assistance in northeast asia, most of the southeast asia. but even then, it would complicate the coffee list for the united states for south korea, for, for a project with japan, and indeed probably taiwan as well. so i guess that is the point right, to complicate the calculus for an adversary. but how much of

a club are they really, a china and russia put together? i mean, given russia strained, naval and land forces as a result of the ukraine will, as so in this part of the world, the biase is, you know, it's almost serious in terms of putting pressure. but the russians, i suppose, have fairly capable naval vessels. submarines that could use put pressure, but i mean that is really further off right now. what we're seeing a lot more of is the sort of grades on activity by chinese maritime militia by p c . coast guard. so right now is all signaling i think for and in the event where you would see actual russian involvement that would pretty be pretty high up the escalation that the so a lot of other things would probably need to happen 1st. um and you know that in that case whether the one ukraine is still ongoing or whether some other

developments have what we're taking in that's less go talk to support of other kind of joined patrols exercises and drills that we are seeing. i mean, what the scenario of the 2 military is preparing for or so it appears was a bit of range of things, right? that they've been having exercises on land as well. but i suppose it's to show that they can operate together when it comes to the and maritime space, which is very, very important in the pacific. much of the into pacific is a maritime theater, as opposed to a land based data. and so to show that they can operate together that they can um, you know, provide the assistance we kind of provide cover for each other as they come the operations. i guess that's the real thing that they've been doing. and i'm more than anything else. um, it's really a show a false rather than anything that's quite concrete at the moment. i mean, we haven't seen that, you know, truly, you know, very,

very sophisticated kinds of say, um, uh, anti submarine. all sort of going all kinds of preparations for, for wolf. so right now it's not up at that level. i suppose what we're seeing is a scaling up possibly. but more than that, it's really the show of the matches alternate saying similar responses from other countries in terms of joint exercises as well. because you have the us south could you have drills for example, stopping today and is talk of new drills between south korea and japan in the us. and we've not even looked at other joint exercises involving india, the us, philippines of japan and other nations as um, there's also the japan us australia of joint exercises happening in the south china . so, you know, so, yeah, so to me there's a lot of, um, fostering right now uh, there's something to the fostering, actually. so on the us side of the us and its allies, the point is deterrence, right? they're trying to signal to the p. c. and on and then also to the, to,

to russia that should they decide to upset the piece for they decide to change the status quote, you know, actually the costs and the risk will be extremely high. now, for the p. c, in the russian side, i suppose what they are trying to show is that yes, that may be all of this deterrence, but you know, to be able to carry off. it's going to be pretty costly and difficult on the us. and the allied side as well. so what we're seeing is this sort of, as i said, us slow, it's are ramping up of activities which suggest that which is just as a rising tension of the region. rising tensions in the region is the region headed to matter, time conflict? you think so a lot will come down to whether the parents works. if determines works and there is no incentive to escalate. then, you know,

a lot of this sort of preparation may actually work for a better end, but terence is a delicate game. you could get it wrong. you could over the truck to, you could assure too much and that could lead the target of goods. it hurts to act in ways that you've told it not to. so i guess we're all in some ways betting that love the signaling is going to be useful in discouraging any adventures i'm but whether that actually works. i mean, in some ways it's a bit we leave a barrel. thank you so much for all the contacts professor, even john from the national university of single thank so thank you. and 0 to some other stories making headlines across asia, some korean president in june. so year old has vowed strong to find that for poor for nation with japan and the united states. if north korea's threats increase you and was speaking as a cabinet meeting,
