the forest fires evaporating large amounts of moist tune and to get the onset and learn more about the heavy and visible over this that flows through the sky. start september 20th on dw, the videos a show coming up today. plus stop link admission from japan. top rated for your office uh pieces defense defense falls is called to protect your brand, and they need an upgrade. the point is that and web forms, we just really pre upgrade the tech and the phone is welcome in when doing yeah, a vast country with a tiny caps the community. we have what they think of the context historic visit the

british manager. welcome to the the news aisha. i'm glad you could join us. japan is all being itself liked it never has before. the defense industry has now almost put a nearly 12 percent budget increase this year to finance the acquisition of warships and long range crews besides. if approved, it will be the 2nd straight of the new 5 year military build up plan that was approved in december last year. the request to increase the defense budget. as part of that plan came a day off to japan, stopped uniformed officer general yoshi, the, you'll see the board that the big selected state of the country's self defense forces had put its very sovereignty in jeopardy. in an interview to the nick ation use paper, he said, and i told we cannot maintain japan security without government capabilities. the domestic community is that the critical juncture on whether it can prevent

unilateral changes in the state as go by force and maintain an international order based on the rule of law. japan is on the front lines of this fight in the in the pacific. and he's thought wrong, so stopped as not 3. yeah. has always been a threat to the island nation. and in recent years, under kim john, one of that fred has only increased a now nearly monthly danger comes from the numerous nissan launches from north korea research, which land the menu occasions in waters around japan. it is one of the reasons why the defense industry wants the funds to build 2 warships, which will have the reductive ability to intercept north korean nissan launches. and then varies the historical spread from china, both nations, after total disputes as well. that's, i've seen ships from both countries, fazel in recent years. the water ukraine has added

a new dimension to this thread in the form of the no limit sponsorship between china and russia. the movies of both nations have since lost the conduct of numerous joint patrols. andrews in the seas around japan and genuine off a more social security expert meet you to to woke up from japan's k or university professor as we woke up. it's a dining assessment from genuine. you'll see the, the as the f gone, protect japan at the moment. why is that all it's not secret and that the current posters not enough. so when we're not enough and security structures, you're not defend pregnant. if a kid upset by themselves, dr. based on the series of simulations that now it is clear that the current safety principal spot is not enough. so they didn't even know she does. the comment is very much in line with what 5 minutes because she does the fucking enough to send back on. that is why? because the, the cards posted is not enough. we need to have

a bigger projects on the that's going to have what are the prior to area that japan is looking to upgrade? the as the in i dave dave. the government is now focusing on the part and what is the quote come to take is of the day which is about acquiring the cruise me solves. so the, because the for a long time, japan didn't have any type of so the, this is a new development and this is very much based on the fact that the both work over here on starting had been functioning, improving their case of the yeah, the scientific search upon finally realizes that it needs to respond and how much of this a change in false posture and these new weapons that japan wants to acquire, are informed by the off to the effects of the ukraine wall of

the general public support for the idea of increasing defense budget, i think uh, to some extent type in influenced by avoiding the upgrade and also the rising tensions over time on. so there are various active behinds, increasing public support for, for, for bigger defense budget. but the phone is, has been facing nissan from north korea for many years. so the, so not, this is a new company position that we need to respond. so the former 6 foot part perspective, the government's decision to text and different spot. there was from home very late, i would say to late, but never too late, but still the should have done more much, much earlier. that's uh, that's my view. as you're talking about increasing public support for this

increased defense other than increased acquisitions from the s d f. yet having said that, the s t f is facing a problem when it comes to recruitment. for instance, not many people want to join the is to have to be sold, as is another case as well. exactly that, that is, i believe the biggest problem is that the assistance forces are facing because building new and more vessels on the buying more craft. i think is the easy part, but the recruiting people and also training that is a more difficult part. and so, so we can do because of a bigger defense bus, we can buy more equipment. but so how we can do that is going to be a i think the biggest challenge instead of just insurance was exported. job, i do want to talk to about the japan security part of the united states because the general, your, she during his interview set up in japan needs to do more on its own when it comes to this alliance with the united states. does japan not think that the us is

a reliable ally? the to japan, really test americans under trust and last was denied of states. so the, we are generally confident about the credibility of the us security guarantee and security commitments. but, but at the same time, the reasonableness of power is changing. so the, at least in relative terms, the call to us is declining in the region, particularly because of the china. so that is why if i need to do more and also at the same time, the strengthening of data and honest with united states is a, is of the defined importance. but at the same time, the, we need to probably other layers for all the security and defense. it's a and that is a deep did there. and it's about the strengthening and expanding our strategic

partnerships. so that includes relationship frustrated, reactions, indian relations, nato. and you'd be a mattress. and speaking of those, a alliances that are alliances of japan has an exercise in the country like australia and india. how important are those demands for your nations to postpone the school operations? here's australia or didn't do it or any other partners. i'm not supposed to replace the one. i switched united states because their last visit in either states remains essential for japan. security on the 1st, there's no doubt about that. but at the same time, the what we need to do for me is to co operate small on to the different needs to be prepared more ways co offered thing was i saw the teacher, he was really a u. k and other countries. so that is to complement what so once we hop is the united states, we leave it there with the timing,

but thank you so much for joining us today. professor meet you talk to rocha. thank . thank you much. both front. so this is no stranger to a sure he's visited south korea, japan, the philippines. i'm having a huge events for the faithful there. today he began to visit to mongolia a country with one of the newest and smallest catholic congregations in the world. the pope was by come to the men golden capital, were not the tar over the next 4 days to be meeting obtained in prayers for be around $1500.00, practicing catholics in the country. it also talks with mom, go to lead is the center piece of the pope's visit? would it be a mass on sunday at frontier says don't slid for visiting places where catholics, auto minority. it's part of his policy to draw attention to people and problems on what he calls the paraphrase of society and the world. and mongolia as catholic

faithful certainly fits that description. mongolia, a country, no one for the small steps, no magic people. and as the birthplace of guy, he's gone. awesome. i'm going to have 2300000 people most practiced to put this in . but there's also a dining got kind of community with less than 2000 fund of us. now this might not or d as in the spotlight with a visit of the church, spiritually to book francis. it's the 1st time upon defense, every drop of tillman good. yeah. one of the words, numerous congregations of the properties is wonderful. the book front says, visiting a country not known to the world for its capitalism when he visits us, although it's well known. but it's been 30 years since the religion came to mongolia and the 1st parish, the catholic church was officially sanctioned in 1992 optimum. good. yeah. and it's

so rich light coming is the government and they're not freedom of religion and its constitution. the country now has 6 churches and a bishop and you have a couple of assistance. so catholics is such a joyous, unhappy occasion by you or however, the catholic religion is not well understood here. and even christianity. because as many denominations can be misinterpreted, consistent with my cell phone book from since the visit is also being seen as strategic during his for the speech. he will spend the day meeting politically to conversations that good for data by deacon's interest, with mcgraw's yes, to chunk me a bus, russia in china and like many other countries, we have only 2 neighbors the most. they are the superpowers. and we have also frontier relations with other countries call. we call them the 3rd neighbors. ok.

that virtually 3rd and their risk. and it's important that these head of state so far 3rd neighbors coming to mongolia, including the one and including this one. and that's why i think it would be another serious step forward for the world to understand. mongolia i'm, i'm going foreign policy is seeking a dialogue between the west and russia to find a way out of war. and you clean and in china to back to can is trying to improve the situation of got the next. uh can you go to visit me also cigna or land by doors, potential guys as an intermediary between china and russia. but do politics are far from the minds of men go yes, got to looks. we're getting a once in a lifetime, johns to see the pool in the home country. and that does it for
