the, the, the state of the news line from the us press is israel to change the cost of its war in gaza. us secretary of state is intended face to match with the countries latest on to the blankets, on a diplomatic tour of the region in an asset to stop the conflict from spreading. also on the program, i had a productions in taiwan this week. we looked at how the island and other democracies in the region are trying to stand up to the security express from china and north korea. pools to this door panel to fall off and add or fight mid flights. investigators say they discover the loose ball. some of the boeing

7379 jets primed enough to last week sensitive wells of football, mullins, the death of japanese legendary form of plant. i'm manager of funds back to the full of bank gases life legacy. the i'm feel welcome to the program through a secretary of state times we think and is in israel, is part of a week long diplomatic tool named trying to prevent an escalation of the war in gaza. short time ago he met with his roles president is that can't solve who sung the us commit, support and commitment to protecting israel is the blinking studio. the tools with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and these cabinets is expected to press as well to do more, to protect civilian lives, and to protect and to prevent its warranty. as that's turning into

a regional conflicts. i've just come from a number of countries in the region tricky grease jordan cutter. i remember to share some of that i heard from those leaders with the president as well as with the prime minister and the cabinet wednesday. and of course, we'll have an opportunity to families and some of the discuss to bring everyone to talk about the wait for the head of those meetings. we can speak to this special correspondent abraham in jerusalem. welcome a, how is the israel unlikely to view? i'm gonna be putting comes visit as well. the secretary of state is set to meet with is really leadership, the prime minister and the war cabinet among others. and these conversations

are not expected to be easy. there are now significant differences between a is really leadership and he was leadership as to the conduct of the war. but also, there are disagreements about the for very bill day after what happens after the war. and after israel achieves it's us profess goals. in this war, the united states is very says, it's very committed to making sure that this work does not spill over into the region. and it has increasingly become critical of the death toll, the mounting death tools in gaza as a result of the worst. so these are expected to be some difficult conversations between 2 very close allies. right, and you mentioned that that was significant to disagreeing buttons. how much influence does the us have on israel? will the united states is israel's biggest backer and biggest supporter

historically, but in this conflict as well. and so if there is a government that is really likely to listen to that is going to be at the united states presumably. but the differences are, as i mentioned quite a significant in the united states, wants israel to start moving into a more low intensity phase of a fighting in gaza. that is a, you know, that utilizes more targeted operations rather than the bombardment that we've been seeing since the beginning of the war. they also want to see gods in the united states wants to see guys and start returning to the north as soon as possible. and they also want to see a significant reduction in the intensity of the fighting a sore to and to spare civilian lives. and to bring down the casualty, know, israel always says that it's intention is not to target civilians, but the number,

but the numbers have been mounting to a to a very good. these are very, very large numbers. and us officials have said the to many innocence have died as a result of the disorders. also because the disagreements about what happens in the day after the anthony blinking is expected to visit through west bank tomorrow. where parts of that is, are governed by the palestinian authority. the united states wants to see, as it says, a revamped and revitalized and rehabilitated palestinian authority be part of the future in gaza after the war. but that is not really something that is really leadership wants of the united states is also here to advocate for, eventually a sustained solution for this concert, which is which it sees as a 2 state solution. but it's also not something that the prime minister, for example of israel up wants to see. and there's of course, the issue of it that you have right wing ministers here in israel,

who are actually calling for a return of civilians to guys is really civilians. 2005, that the settlements and gods and that is something that the united states also rejects categorically for the day after scenario. so to speak, to your pastor and abraham and give her some a big one. and he's writing drones drives a southern lab, and on his report they killed a senior commander of the has belie. i'm going to send group as blot issue the statement confirming that we're somehow signed out. we'll have been killed in a strike on monday, but provided the further detail, lebanese secuity sources, sources say he was a member of his blogs and lead rod bon falls unless he died in on the tax on a vehicle in the southern village of care. but so the of the board of, of israel, this is the 2nd high profile, killing in science lab, and on in 2024 to be blamed on these row. last week i massey's deputy leader summit

people been looking for this all weekend and it looks like it's in my backyard. investigate as a spill in the process of trying to identify exactly what caused the panel to blow off the boeing 737, and if it had been properly installed the the exam to date has shown that the door in fact did translate upward. all 12 stops became disengaged, allowing it to blow out of the fuselage. we found that both guide tracks on the plug were fractured. we have not yet recovered the 4 bolts that restrain it from its vertical movement. and we have not yet determined if they existed there that will be determined when we take the plug to our lab in washington dc. passengers on board, the flights captured the movements off to the duel panel blue of the plain. some

reached the oxygen mosques. the alaska airlines flight was an altitude of 16000 feet when it began its emergency descent with a gaping hole on the side of the plane. the plane landed safely with i have a 170 people on board. boeing has ordered a temporary grounding of it's 737, max, 9 jets for inspections. united airlines, the alaska airlines have based identified loose hardware and several of the 737, max croft, including 2 bolts that need tightening. this contributes to serious concerns over the safety of the 737 max model, which was involved in 2 deadly crushes, months apart in 201820198. taiwan which

is getting up for elections this week. the village will determine the items cost and the face of tens, security dynamics across the in the pacific division of an illness geo political significance to some of the world's biggest economists and military power has the w as type a correspondent james che. it's a looks at the steps taiwan and others are taking to protect themselves. the regions, most belligerent access, china and north korea across asia, growing friction, political flush, a career in japan, say this north koreans continental police, took me sulfide last month, can hit anyway on us territory. and in the new year, young young is going to step up for preparation elsewhere in the south china sea. china also last month slide was kind of that philippine vessels as long standing. there are some tensions spelled out with that. being said, ties with manila apps across roads engine, taiwan, which china claims its own and election is just days away. even so i one's main

opposition. policy have cost a vote as a choice between the warranty ways. so even though we see it, none of these flash points, the new, which is 2024 begins. what is changing is china is an north korea's growing assessments. not to mention both countries, deepening tires with russia, 3 nuclear on states, 3 powers increasingly frustrated with a us led wealth or to the among washington's partners in asia, including here in taiwan robots, prompting a fundamental rethink of risk. governments of scrambling to bruce defense budgets unfolds alliances around the region. japan is pos, directly to the defense budget for 2024. despite to start grievances tokyo is drawing closer to south korea. here, conducting joined to patrol of last year until present japan and the philippines will soon begin tools on access to each other's military bases with the philippines

last year, crunching the us success to for more of them in. so i want, this is one response to increased chinese intimidation. the super easy a domestic, he may train the jets used to prepare the next generation of points apply that like junk kite. he graduated from the us air force academy before turning to taiwan. we're still, we're learning from us and try to be stronger. so i'm not worried about you know, the war floor of the fight from our opponents. but we, we will start the flight fight actively. but we are trying to be 100 percent ready if there is possible for end of this time and use that for space. washington support is plain to see evolving front disability and age are opposing big questions about whether that so no. and this the scope of the challenge posed by adversaries of the us might needed satellite as an agent to form

a collective security pack. similar to name. because now, nothing blank nato exists. the nation, nato, which labeled china are a systemic challenge for the 1st time in 2022 already has full partners in the, in the pacific. but those ties full well. shorts of collective defense, full membership with guarantee countries of the quad security dialogue, a previously held joint military drills. the group also has no collective security packs. the china has long criticized it as an asian nato. and the us maintains mutual defense treaties with these countries in the region need service previously shied away from strengthening ties with asian pond is mostly over phase of anchoring china. but we paging some industry might snow rivaling the us so many the reality has changed. and if china, i know 3 is full selections, continue some say in nature style punched in asia, once inconceivable could come closer to reality. but we pull it from data.

what is a stage where correspondent james, that child who joins us now from the time when he's capital time pay. you're welcome, james. let's start with that last option mentioned in your report. the possibility of a native style defense alliance in asia, who might be part of that, as well as likely those countries i mentioned and not reports, countries that are already made. so ponds would be positive, any kind of expansion of the dialogue and cooperation that already exists within the pacific pond is. but it's important to emphasize at this point, that the immediate expansion of nato, of any type of agreements is really quite unlikely to take place. and then the medium time and the reason for that is we seen over the last couple of years where the efforts to, to establish for example, in the a's on office, in tokyo, of nato that was most discussed during the g 7 summit's in hiroshima last year. as

of course, the summit was taking place in the in the pacific, and there was that renewed emphasis on the region. but what happened interesting, it was later in the, during the nato summit and billing if you're a new or is that that, that in the as office. and so it was really push down the agenda. and we understand from reporting at the time that that was really about the, the efforts really of european powers who were really concerned the need. so if they did established, and today's and office in the mean, the pacific would be kind of overreaching its initial aims to protect the euro atlantic spit beyond that. of course, um, allies in the us allies really in the, in the pacific have been concerned about establishing a collective defense agreement like this. because historically they've really prefer to operate on a purely biological basis. so that's why we haven't seen this type of collective security agreements really come to fruition despite the of, of intelligence that we seen in the pacific right now. and of course, as always, china to consider which presumably would say the establishment of any sorts of alliance. what it considers its backyard as being some sort of

a major problem occasion in. so yes, and that's exactly why we haven't seen that. for example, about liaison officers come to fruition. it's really understood that that from the expensive of china is really thought that they've already concluded that the, the us really is pushing for some type of agreement. collective the defense operates has to be established indian, the pacific. something which they've already promised with would gone over a resolute response. the really key context. all of this. so is of course, that's the fundamental relationships on dependent countries. any, any east asia, on the into pacific event. on the one hand, you have china, which is from the boss, majority of countries in the region, in some cases very much. so the largest trading partner in economic pond. and on the other hand, you have us, which is often the chief guarantor of security. and so that's, that's some people to say that, you know, if we were going to see any type of collective defense agreement come to fruition,

what we need to see 1st is a collective economic resilience and security corporation come into fruition 1st. because that would need to be in place really for us allies to feel comfortable that their economies wouldn't be so drastically impacted by any type of collective security agreements before they jump into a defense, a conventional defense agreements of that nature. right. so is a lot of those sort of negotiations that isn't going on behind the scenes of a or is this not a sort of pressing issue for the countries in that region. once do we do about china as well? i mean, it's very much in the front of people's minds. um we see not as i mentioned in our report, those tier political flash points are very much taking place in the opening. so how to deal with those combined threats of very critical brittany to how countries wants to be dealing with that, that type of um, the threat that they to see from china and north korea. of course, as i mentioned,

those discussions that took place around the nature da's office was taking place relatively in the open the, the, the push back we saw from european powers was a bit more caps behind closed doors. um, but really um we know, recent we see this type of, um, concern being told about much more openly, especially when you look at the various flash points that are coming into version those, the relationships that are really being expanded below the threshold, the former security partnerships like that relationship between japan and south create like that relationship between japan and the philippines. because what they've really trying to do is expand that level of to tyrants and to, to expand the capacities to expand the regional and kind of that the variability, really of the ministry capabilities in these countries. so that they can dissuade china on north korea from taking any type of mid a traction against target. slight taiwan. ok, thank you for that. james, james chase a in time not to your trade, where despite of the recent wave of russian miss on a tax,

the 2 sides are still negotiating exchanges of prisoners last week, the exchange of record number of prisoners of war. it was the 1st walk for months, but many soldiers remained in camp, tennessee corresponded sonia found the cost center stitched report from keith to see michael church in key. a demonstration for soldiers captured by the russians . i went to bed time story from my dad. it says natalia is one of the organize of features. many of our soldiers being killed the captain's captivity and tortured for protecting and defending our country. this is an appeal to our society to look around and open the eyes to what is happening. with the, with the show for start mom, if there's that people watch officiated words of korean you reminders of the war
