we just heard that he says that china will do to the pacific what they have already done to the south china sea. if you look at this map this is to log if china gets a military presence here that is significant firstly there is a strategic significance we have a strain right down here the strait between australia and have new guinea is a major shipping route ad but there are also a military significance to this to doug it was once the capital of the british protectorate of the solomon islands it was taken by the japanese during the 2nd world war it was really won by the americans during the famous battle of quite a canal so these islands have always had a link to it to the west for the last 60 years and this is what it really comes down to beijing is challenging washington's status in in the pacific ocean and now washington already have military installations in strategic waters belonging to other countries in this area and now it seems beijing is doing the same all out soccer thanks very much for coming in and breaking that down on the maps for us. on the other side of the story is of cour

and then to meet with college students and then we were talking about the south china sea. and with the us military strategist with a classic rising power. >> and that is from a different generation. so don't hold this down. but they only know china on the rise. >> and then listen to the frederick in response there is that increasing and then you talk about raising power and those that were accommodated by the british. so how do you come down on the question it is inevitable. it has a lot to avoid with the chances of that and in the final chapter with cyberspace to set the rules for so you could avoid past conflict and then to enforce those redlines and then could reach a rebreaking point to head them off before they get to that stage with us and soviet union and $2 billion of trade per year? many multiples with a tremendous mutual interest in keeping a peaceful relationship. so to see the frame of that of the trade war how you could see yourself but we are a long way for that because you hope that makes a difference. it's one of the reasons why russia is the more dangerous

i was on a spy plane over the south china sea as china manufactured territory including the allies such as the philippines. i went on a submarine under the arctic where the marine forces are training to track capable quieter russian submarines and another front in this war. i spent weeks traveling around the space command and i wrote about this in "the wall street journal" the fact is the u.s. already has a space force in the space command and there is already a space for underway. so i was traveling to each of these runs over the course of many years both regarding russia and china and seeing that there were connections that were not isolated and in fact that they were part of a strategy both russia and china are using with great effect. you write about anything today, talk about anything today and of course it is colored by the hyper political environment that we are in. this is not a political book. as i look back at how republican and democratic administrations have approached russia and china spread the blame because there's been consistent mistakes by both republican and democrati

the judges found china had no legal claim to the whole south china sea. stead of abiding by that, china said, we did not participate in the process although they actually had participated, therefore, it does not apply. of thes in violation u.n. ruling, but it had no enforcement mechanism. the trade talks have to have an enforcement mechanism. the other part of the south china sea that is worth mentioning -- they promised president obama -- it was president xi jinping standing next to obama in the rose garden in a public press conference. the translation came through, i will not militarize the south china sea, which to us, i will not put missiles or jet fighters or fly bombers out there. within a few years, they have done all of those things. that agreement with president obama was nonbinding. it was not written down. it was a vocal promise. they, in our view, violated it. the lesson seems to be, chinese expressions of their aspirations and hopes are not going to get the job done. host: michael pose berry of >> washington journal mugs are available in c-spa

it's a sensitive topic globally but especially between china which claims all of the south china sea above the dashes and its asian neighbors like vietnam. china's neighbors have the backing of the united states which sometimes patrols the skies over and sails its aircraft through these disputed waters. dad always wanted me to travel the world taking us back to the map moment in the children's movie which was co-produced by china based pearl studio and hollywood's dream works. i'm quite upset that browses the patriot in me that clearly belongs to vietnam's maritime sovereignty. but nobody and i mean at 1st i was planning to go to see this film but after i learned about the dotted line that marks china's claims i decided i should not watch it. and a week after it opened a vietnamese movie goers can not watch the movie called everest the little yeti in some parts of the world and abominable in others movie posters in the movie itself have been removed a geo political boundary dispute takes precedence over a kid's film that for a moment takes sides. staying in vietnam where the art of ma

because a policy of behavior that we talked about last year because of the military station of the south china sea with the general secretary comes to the white house and says they want to militarize her has to be a consequence. for the most part we are interested in levels of contact and types of engagement to protect our interest we don't engage for engagement sake were not looking at volume of number of visits but are we promoting our interest to promote openness and transparency. by the way to critique with the quality of that that was a good move to be transparent. we welcome that bed other objectives in terms of promoting a safe operating environment to develop better relationships with theel next generation come all of these are worked into a proposal for the military contact in and work through was acceptable anything that pushes usr to the objectives we are open to we don't say this level or that level is out of bounds but again we don't just want engagement for engagement sake and that era where it was a metric and frankly it has been a metric in other relationships were trying to ti

let's start with the headline in the south china morning post. we have with president xi, the contrast of the mass protest leading to the shooting of a demonstrator. do you think this could mark a turning point in the way that the authorities are dealing with these mass protests? i think it is pretty interesting. president xi went out of his way at those ceremonies in beijing to talk about

a south china post reporting deputy level talks fail to see progress on key issues like transfers and subsidies. also that high-level trade talks reportedly for today will end a day earlier than planned the white house report says that was wrong and they are unaware of any such changes. this morning, the white house is talking a currency pack with china and another currency delay. all as president trump says, when it comes down to it, only two people matter in all of these talks. >> there is really only two people that matter on this one that is president xi and myself. we get along very well i can't imagine he likes me the way he did when i first became president. we'll go to eunice now for more. what is the word from beijing. >> reporter: brian, you know there has been a lot of noise around these trade talks fundamentally, people are wondering how much has really changed. the south china post is quoting sources that one of the reasons why they weren't able to make head way is because the chinese were refusing to entertain the idea of talking about forced technology transfers which i

administration has alleged racially gang sean china spokesperson for the foreign ministry told the south china morning post that quote china has a long pursued the principle of noninterference in the international affairs of other internal affairs of other countries. it is that person of principle causing so much friction between china and the u.s. this week r.t. america correspondent karen fronsac has just. it's not looking good at all over in china with hong kong's leader carrie lam she says the city is survival is at stake at a press conference tuesday alam not only said that the tourism industry has taken a hit which is an obvious one no one wants to travel to hong kong right now but it's also a tax on businesses by protesters we're talking retail banks shops but what's worse better a local investment manager francis lund says that investors they're moving their money out of hong kong the only good sign however is that hong kong's share prices stay pretty stable tuesday morning when the markets open that's because investors see hong kong shares is totally cheap now but as far as tourism ke

meanwhile, the south china morning post has a slightly different take on it. ng and between china's celebration with a picture of xi jinping and that protester being shot. but i also wa nt to protester being shot. but i also want to show you this, a paid advertisement, a wraparound of the newspaper with the national anthem of the people's republic of china. yesterday the paper had a similar paid advertisement, congratulating china for the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the people's republic of china. of course, the south china morning post is owned by china's jane alibaba, which was founded by a communist party member, jack ma. also, it's notjust the local papers, with very different ta kes local papers, with very different takes on what happened in hong kong yesterday, but the new york times with a picture of the protest as well. so a lot of discussion on the events yesterday, whether or not live ammunition was indeed necessary and so on, kasia. many thanks. mariko 0i has spent many days in hong kong covering the protests for us. the duchess of sussex,

i mean china's anus to change the balance of power in the taiwan strait in the south china sea in other places that push the united states and our allies and partners further and further back from its shores and as the balance of power and there are mines ships further and further and beijing's direction i think it makes it more likely that we would see aggression from beijing in the future and i think it's important to make clear that at least from my perspective the enemy is not the chinese people the chinese are a great people with a great history and a great civilization the villain here in my view is the chinese communist party which has undertaken the largest intellectual property in human history and is oppressing our people while violating international norms and rules and this is not the u.s. versus china at least it should not be us versus china isn't the china versus the world and that should manifest itself in our marriage that's itself and our policies in the south china sea the taiwan straits do you think there's any alarm going off in the pentagon tonight after what was d

of last week, there were sanctions that went into effect in the united states, reports from the south chinang post that china was going to leave early so the fact that there was a positive meeting on friday, an announcement of the delay in tariffs isa announcement of the delay in tariffs is a really good thing and people need to not lose sight of that. besides do need to figure out how to finalise these details. wide when you expected deal to happen?” finalise these details. wide when you expected dealto happen? i think you expected dealto happen? i think you are going to have a couple of different phases. i will give you some perspective. we are not going to get a grand bargain, some perspective. we are not going to geta grand bargain, the some perspective. we are not going to get a grand bargain, the big deal. the problems between the us and china are too broad and deep. right now we're talking about doing this phases, incrementally. my estimation is that they will be able to reach an agreement of some nature by aipac, that will hopefully form the basis to have a border agreement. i don't

meanwhile, the south china morning post has a bit of a different take. there. of course, the south china morning post is owned by chinese tech giant alibaba, founded byjack ma, who's a communist party member. but i also want to show you this one — and, interesting, a paid advert wraparound with the national anthem of china. yesterday as well, the paper had a paid advert, congratulating china for the 70th anniversary since the foundation of the people's republic of china. and today we are expecting some 100 people who were arrested on sunday to appear in court, and protesters have been calling on each other on social media to show up to express their support. they are charged with rioting offences and that's one of the demands of the protesters — don't call them rioters. other demands of course include universal suffrage, as well as the unconditional release of those protesters who have been arrested. but after witnessing one of the worst violence since the protests began, since that controversial extradition bill was introduced, we have no end in sight o

will not be replaced by saying a half a trillion i mean the value american companies make in china and south here and also what they export back to united states and what is imported back into china from united states so this is a very big number there's no market to make it up right so it's a little bit strange how this is going to turn out gordon and sol and nasim to think that the americans will hurt more from this prolonged trade war with china and the chinese well do you agree with that. i certainly don't you know last year china's merchandise trade surplus with the united states was 119.3 percent of was overall surplus you know that's overwhelming dependence on the u.s. i mean the overriding reality is the u.s. market and also you know we're not america is not a trade dependent connally but china certainly is certainly much more trade dependent and by the way we're in the trade deficit country you know one he the foreign minister says oh you know the american should remember the lessons of the great depression and the trade war well the lesson of the great depression is that trade surp

the south china morning post leads with china's 70th anniversary of communist party rule, saying thebut, the japan times reports that hong kong is on edge regarding the anniversary events, saying that authorities are eager to avoid scenes that could embarrass the central government in beijing. borisjohnson and his brexit plans dominate the uk papers. the telegraph says the prime minister will reveal his brexit plan in more detail to eu leaders within the next 26 hours. the i newspaper reports on a different angle — saying that labour, the liberal democrats and snp are discussing formal plans to prevent a no—deal brexit. away from brexit, the financial times has the story the economy. and the sun's front page says that new research shows that the bacon—loving british people can now eat it safely — there had been fears it could lead to heart disease or cancer. a controversial study we will get into that in little more detail in the the idea that china could be entering a new era of president xi jinping's leadership, it's worth looking back on the kind of economic miracle that it has un

and in this sense, of course, this territory is china's influence in the south china sea and east chinaso the aim, really, of this military equipment, military technologies, is to secure its territory. the shared office space company wework has officially scrapped plans to sell shares on the stock market. the move comes after the ousting last week of its founder, this gentleman right here, as chief executive. the bbc‘s correspondent has the latest from new york. it was a stunning fall from being one of the most hotly anticipated ipos of the year, but in just six weeks wework went from being valued at $47 million to putting its plans to become a publicly traded company on pause. wework founder and ceo adam neumann was kicked out of his job as ceo as investors made it clear they were not interested in putting money into a company that has run up huge losses and wouldn't be profitable for a long time. also making investors nervous for a long time. also making investors nervous was for a long time. also making investors nervous was just how the company was being managed. so now the new lead

and of course also some contested areas, south china sea, some relationships that might be contested where china has ambitions where we want to invest more. so i mentioned the pacific islands and parts of southeast asia. so it's playing out, you know, we're sort of building the airplane as we're flying it because we're in a competitive environment now. but to get to your second part of your question, i think the work inside the enterprise is the work that will continue for quite some time, because the nature of our business. we buy things, you know, big programs that last decades, and decisions now and in five, ten years from now, will have lasting impact. so we want to be investing wisely. i mentioned some of the new do mains and areas of focus in my remarks. but it's a dynamic environment. that could change depending on the directions that china goes. i mean, they will largely be a pacing competitor for these decisions and we have to be dynamic and flexible and make those wise decisions along the way. >> you mentioned alliances. you've built a reputation as being a strong alliance m

dropping down to about 18 by the time we get to thursday and notice the rain across much of the south china sea that is all due to a developing system that is making its way towards vietnam we do expect to see some very heavy rain over the next few days flash flooding is going to be a major problem as we go from wednesday as well as into thursday along the coast we could be seeing anywhere between $2250.00 millimeters of rain but over towards the philippines more rain in store for you with manila at 32. a survivor of the genocide there are people who beg me to kill the person when they're suffering new but it didn't have the power to do it he's dedicated his life to searching the woods for bones of the victims of the srebrenica massacre. and the cure is to draw. you know hope of finally laying the past to rest and giving peace to the victims' families if i can just find a finger i could bury bone hunter on al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap the headlines protesters calling for political change jobs back on the streets of the iraqi capital demonstrators defied

the south china morning post, for lam, it is housing, not politics.corded speech. she could not deliver it live within the legislative council, usually embarrassing for her as she was tackled. within the speed —— heckled, and within the speech there was nothing to hand out anything to those who were protesting on the streets of hong kong for four months. four months of protesting here, the fact we are in a situation where the protesters are calling for a review into police brutality, the country is in statistical recession and there is nothing that carrie lam is producing here, which is eating her. and quickly on the new york times. patrick day, the boxer who suffered brain injuries, he was put into a coma and has died four days later at 27 years old. there was also a 28—year—old russian who died four days after a light weight fight in maryland, two days later, a 23—year—old argentinian died, collapsing after a fight in bonus areas. i mean, it is, whenever we look at any stories like this, it becomes insanity that there is no change within the boxing

road initiative and maybe not highlighting as much of the activities in the east china sea and south china sea. certainly what we see in the region as well, the branding effort might be underway in the behavior and activities are still quite robust and of concern in vietnam for example, the beat knees putting pressure on not only the viennese but other international private companies that would do legal exploration and extracting in japan, they talk about improving relationship and their focus on a possible xi jinping visit to japan next year but in fact the same level of activities occurring around the islands in the east china sea, the same with naval and maritime pollution postcard activities into japanese territory waters and what they regard as territorial waters. the rebranding is underway but the activities are still in the behavior of a concern to us. it's really a concern because it's embedded what we understand to be long-term chinese strategic ambition and aspiration. when we talk about competition and why we believe were on the leading edge of long-term strategic competition. i

to disinvite the chinese from the impact because the militarization of the south china sea and when they took the white house there's got to be some consequence for that. but for the most part, we are interested in a variety of levels of contact, types of engagement if it can promote our interests. we try to have an interest-based approach. we don't engage for engagement sake. our metric isn't volume, number of visits or how much engagement we have. it's promoting our interests, developing a better understanding and promoting an openness and transparency. by the way i caught the release of the white paper and we could critique is that i thought that the release was a good move in terms of being transparent and coming to grief in washington was a good move. we welcome that. but, other objectives in terms of promoting a safe operating environment and trying to develop better relationships with the next generation and future office where all these things get worked into a proposal for an annual military contact plan and then we sort of worked through with the chinese what is acceptable. i w

the south china morning post reporting that police groups calling for some sort of cu rfew. police groupssort of curfew. yes. even mentioning things like banning the facemasks, because of facial recognition technology in hong kong protesters are making dramatic steps to protect themselves —— taking. it is a sign of how out of control this is. this has been going on for nearly four months now, and it is escalating, it is getting worse. there is a real failure of the hong kong government to get a grip. the last time they had to use a curfew was in 1967. it isa had to use a curfew was in 1967. it is a colonial era curfew. again, not great objects. let's talk about technology a little. it is funny to talk about a technology firm being the established, almost dinosaur of its sector and microsoft is, but has got real staying power and continuing to innovate. and this new device, the surface duo, they are definitely going for the folding rather than the bending for the next step. yes. what is interesting about microsoft is they really had failed to get into the whole smart phone device business.

the south china morning post has the latest on the hong kong protests.or the government to bring in colonial—era emergency powers. the tech website wired focuses on microsoft's new device — the surface duo dual screen smartphone. instead of running windows as expected, it'll be powered by google's android operating system. and could "flight shaming" be one of the answers to climate change? the bbc website has more on travellers turning their backs on air travel over concern for the environment. with me is independent analyst dr stephanie hare. she used to be principal director at accenture research, a global management consultancy. we have got the papers lined up to go through. we start with the guardian. in the reaction to brussels, somewhat cool to this new set of proposals. it's not really clear what's new with proposals, right? we have been talking about this for years now and there is a cold ha rd this for years now and there is a cold hard reality of physical geography between the united kingdom and the republic of ireland. you have northern irelan

but in the south china sea, if we're that thin -- do we have any carry yeariers? >> i'm not current on that. i will offer, though, that we have a substantial undersea presence that's able to execute missions in the pacific. >> the concern i have is the same concern. you mentioned china and russia. the middle east is where we seem to be bogged down no matter what's taking our sources and inventory, if you l as sparse as it is. and it seems to me, the south china sea will have a greater threat than what we are right now. probably in a classified hearing i'd have to get in deeper, and maybe you could help me on it, on how we give the support. >> i'd be happy to do that. >> and on the aircraft carrier, i'm really concerned about that. i talked to some of our captains and commanders on those. there's some concerns they were sharing with us. i'm sure you'll be on top of that. >> i'd be happy to offer a follow-up. >> thank you so much. i know every question has been asked that could possibly be asked. i was anxious to hear your answers. it's very informative. i look forw

they're maybe not highlighting as much some of the activities in the east china sea or the south china sea, but certainly what we see in the rest of the region is while the branding effort might be under way, the behavior and the activities are still quite robust and of concern to us. and vietnam, for example, the incursions into the vietnamese eez and putting pressure on not only the vietnamese but other international private companies that would do legal exploration and extracting. in japan, they talk about an improving relationship and they're focused on a possible xi jingping visit to japan next year. but in fact the same level of activity is occurring into and around the senkaku islands and in the east china sea, the same naval and maritime militia and coast guard activities into japanese territorial waters or what they regard as territorial waters. so i think the re-branding is under way but the activities are still and the behavior is still of concern to us. and it's really of concern because it's embedded in what we understand to be long-term chinese strategic ambitions and asp

let's start with the headline in the south china morning post. it is a real contrast on the front page, this display of unity that we have with president xi, the contrast of the mass protest leading to the shooting of a demonstrator. do you think this could mark a turning point in the way that the authorities are dealing with these mass protests? i think it is pretty interesting. president xi went out of his way at those ceremonies in beijing to talk about one country, two systems. it is in display in a way here in that headline, the unity, one country with one system which has taken place in beijing, another picture from hong kong, that terrible tension. i was passing through hong kong a few months ago as this was all happening. the real question is, where it is this going? president xi went out of his way to talk about it to make it clear in a way that he wishes to keep hong kong asa way that he wishes to keep hong kong as a separate system, that china is going to respect that and said we need to maintain the long—term stability and prosperity

away from brexit, the south china morning post's top story is the situation in hong kong and has a pictureng scenes inside the legislative council as chief executive carrie lam tried to deliver her address and was forced to leave the chamber. the new york times has the story of the 27—year—old boxer patrick day, who has died four days after suffering a brain injury during a fight in chicago last weekend. and finally, the sun leads with an open letter sent by more than 100 extinction rebellion—backing celebrities, who've admitted they are climate change hypocrites with their high—carbon lifestyles, but they are asking the media and journalists to focus on the bigger issue at hand. the sun calls them "ego—warriors". with me is james hughes, chief market analyst at brokerage firm axi trader. it's the story you and i discussed every time you come in. and today, for good reason it's the nominating —— dominating most of the press. this shot
