that is why the philippine navy continues to resupply the ship, despite its status. does not want to philippines to stand -- send construction material. that is one of the red lines. the philippines is only able to supply food and water, but not construction material. again, i do not know how long this will last and what new arrangement can marcos come up in his talks with china. laura: there are a number of flashpoints. i wonder how they will play out given the new relationship marcos and xi are hoping to build. ei: the marcos family is long-running. very cordial relationship with china. i recall seeing videos of them singing various chinese songs and so on. nowadays, of course, a lot of southeast asian countries, philippines included an malaysia as well, we are not the best of economic shapes. unfortunately the united states and many other western countries are not in a position, or unwilling to invest and trademark with us. in fact -- trade more with us. in fact, the united states calling on its invest -- existing investors overseas to relocate back to the united s

where's the philippines has called illegal? china, for its part says the visit we'll focus on regional and international issues of common concern. present. marcus says he's looking forward to increasing economic cooperation a the next few years with all of our a b r 8 with shot with our correspondent, katrina you is in beijing. she tells us what each side as hoping to get out of this trap. macos a 3 day visit to china, the 1st of 2023 included meetings, the, china's head of the national people congress lead done to the premier league chunk and chinese president. she didn't pay it out. it's been a rocky relationship for these 2 countries over the past few years. but for slides has said that this visit marks a new chapter in the bilateral relationship. they both lead to increased cooperation in a variety of areas including economic growth and trade technology, infrastructure, energy, culture and tourism. and so both countries much is at stake. this visit comes amid infrastructure and energy crisis for the philippines. manila, chin

claim on the west philippine sea as ancestral domain. ok, that was such a loss in terms of not upholding that. and that could also be a rallying cry for all the other countries in the region that have overlapping claims to the south china sea, which the china claims with that 9 dash line. so i thought that that was like, that was a wasted opportunity. if i may also tell you bed, the fisherman that i spoke to in the country when you know that have these fight offs with the chinese ship. they said that when made us feel like we could be someone, you know, we're a small player in this region. and this country, recognizing our claims, was an issue that we could stand up to someone like china. so while the philippines is doing deals with china, a lot of them big financial deals here. where does that put the philippines? historically strong relationship with us? i think they're still a very strong historical relationship with the us that's. that's like iron clad with all sorts of deals that range from maritime security, military partnerships an

now, here in the philippines is when the u. s. i believe me to say you mutual defense treaty with the u. s. and the u. s. has already said that he's of ben shine in south china sea. where in the philippines is armed, they will come to the aid of the policy that has been made clear in precedence by my enduring residence from so but the philippines, of course, once to avoid any one sleep in the west sea, which is our part of the south trying to see, that's why the philip fleeing may be convenient to resupply. share my that is why the status of the ship went been used to resupply, but china doesn't want the sand construction materials. that is one of their red lines. so the philippines is only able to supply food and water, but map construction materials. so i don't know how long this will last and what you arrange man, and mark costs come up. it is flocks. we china. there are a number of flash points here on the east on wonder how they will play out given the new relationship. but marcos and see are hoping to, to build but a month p

south china sea, but the west philippine sea. the exclusive economic zone of the philippines, which all countries are entitled to within a certain radius outside of your borders, has been encroached in by china. right. but, and we see where do we see our neighbors? our neighbors, like indonesia have issued very strong statements about will not give up even an inch of indonesia yet mom has like, had on, had, had, you know, encounters with china, in their part also of the south china sea that has overlapping claims. and here you see the philippines quite pop about asserting its claims and how to, to china. i think that number one we, we wasted an opportunity with really that, that haig, when that awarded or that recognized the philippine claim on the west philippine sea as ancestral domain. ok, that was such a loss in terms of not upholding that. and that could also be a rallying cry for all the other countries in the region that have overlapping claims to the south china sea, which the china claims with that 9 dash line. so i thoug

the philippines is very strategically important. it's the closest country to taiwan, which the, the mainland, the seas as road chinese territory. and historically, the philippines is also a close ally of the united states and bacon wants to do what ever can to minimize the influence of washington in the region. hundreds of trunk said blocking highways in bolivia, farming harp to protest against the arrest of a local governor. though his camacho, the governor of santa claus, was detained. last week out, he was accused of trying to topple, then president, evil morales in 2019. demonstrators say the governor's must be released. andrea van baker reports. highway traffic in bolivia is farming region of santa cruz has come to a standstill. protestors one the release of luis commercial, the governor of santa cruz, who was detained last week. much as accused of leading the political unrest in 2019, at late to the removal of name president even morales. he denies the accusations, the ongoing protest saw threatening the delivery of grain and f

the curious secretary of the philippines. ben, her abala said that this is all part of the internal placing efforts of the philippine national police. and he said that this, in fact, was a move that was also recommended by the current police chief general rodolfo as ravine as himself is not exempted from this call. now this follows a drug raid, back in december where a district chief of the philippine drug enforcement agency together with his agents where arrested and caught with several kilograms of methamphetamine. now the philippine drug enforcement agency is not part of the philippi and national police, but during the last administration, led by philippine president would re good to the 3rd day to turn himself had said that it was the best of his knowledge that police generals within the philippine national police were or are involved in the illegal drug trade. and so i will said that clearly there is an internal problem here and so he said, call it a short cut if you want. but the wheels of justice in the philippines just

i think as far as the philippines is l as far as the philippines is concerned, this is something that to come up that discussion is going on. the idea, part of the idea behind his visit has tester but they do with focusing on economic relationships. china is one of our most important economic partners brought about by the close ties that the previous administration as far as our policies towards china is concerned. at this point in time, i think that is the agenda that is actually being emphasised as far as we are concerned. although, of course, thoseissues concerned. although, of course, those issues that concern covid as well as the security issues are actually going to be part of that agenda.— are actually going to be part of that agenda. herman kraft, the department _ of that agenda. herman kraft, the department of— of that agenda. herman kraft, the department of political- the department of political science at the university of philippines. thank you so much forjoining us on newsday. thank you. the european commission says there's majority support for eu—wide travel restrictions

why in the philippines were very happy filipinos decided what? y will be able to live freely and declared independence from spain, but this was not included in the plans of the united states, therefore, in 1898, the united states of america bought the philippines from spain for a rather small amount of 20 million dollars, which , in general, had already declared independence. ah, accordingly, this allowed the americans not to go anywhere to filippate. naturally, they did not accept this and put it in january. and the next year, 1899, between the americans and the spaniards , the american-philippine war broke out between the americans and the filipinos. it is interesting that us president williamali justified the capture of the philippines by the fact that supposedly it is impossible to leave the filipinos to themselves, for they are not prepared for self-government. in particular. he said that the independence of the philippines would soon lead to such anarchy and such abuse as would have been. what else is left for us under the rule of spain and

and for china, the philippines is very strategically important. it's the closest country to tie one which st than the mainland, the seas as road chinese territory. and historically, the philippines is also a close ally of the united states and bade you want to do what ever can minimize the influence of washington in the region. and of course, i mean this discussion deal on the south china sea. it's always a potential flash point, but as you say, it's not the only disagreement that these 2 countries have, and it's going to take time for them to solve it and also for their neighbors to react to what fin agreed. and what hasn't been agreed by the 2 of them. that's right, so unlike his predecessor roger, good. this heard the market has not only been moving closer to china. he's also been moving closer to the united states. and in november, us vice president come on harris and visited manila and both sides agreed that washington would expand its military presence in the philippines. so that was something that very much angered, waging that will no doubt

presidential palace when i reported on the inauguration of her and marcus junior in the philippines. i could experience that firsthand because what happened is at the inauguration, the traditional media was really shut out. we didn't get any information while some floors on the internet where fat with prime information. and so it is the sort of a more subtle erosion of press freedom that the philippines are currently experiencing. now, maria, are as her face is 3 more criminal proceedings, or what can you tell us about that and what's next for her and her magazine. exactly. the last time i visited her the wrapper office in manila and was just after the election campaign and that is when they were officially shut down. now they appealed against that decision and pledged to continue their work. and that is what they're doing to the present day. but what they're appealing against now is this one shut down order, and there's another 2 cases related to tax evasion. so the battle continues and the future of rep that was founded in 2012 very much remains on certain bit of scale matters that

it's shorter, this is your 1st visit china as president of the philippines. also, the 1st flooring lead to the china has received this year. this friendship is very precious. i have been looking forward to this visit. we have to show and demonstrate to the rest of the world how important the relationship is between fire, philippines, and china to both our countries. on previously the south china sea had been a source of tension between the 2 countries with the philippines raising concerns over a legit violation of interest diction by the chinese coast guard. the conduct of fishing fleets on an annual fishing bond was to discuss this were joined live now by nelson, long vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies, as well as the vault club x. but now someone, thanks for joining us today. now 1st of all, i'd just like to get your take on these agreements, what issues they may solve, and is this a new leaf, a new page in relations between the 2 countries? absolutely. this visitor president of marco's, from the philippines to china, i

a court in the philippines has acquitted the journalist, maria theresa, and her online news outlet wrap off tax evasion charges. reza was joined winner of the noble piece price 2 years ago, but globally recognized reporting on her nation's violent anti drug campaign made an enemy of former president rodrigo detach. it's not the end of the war for nobel prize winner maria reza, but she has won a significant battle. speaking outside court, she struggled to hold back tears black to day fax when truth, when justice wins. major emotional alum for ressa co founded the online new side wrapper and used it to expose philippines. president rodrigo, to tat a's, alleged abuse of power and growing authoritarianism. due tatty tried to discredit. rap le ressa says he weaponized the philippines judicial system against her and her associates left the 59 year old has been battling a series of cases filed due to her vocal criticism of the former president. these charges, as you know, were politically motivated. they were incredible to us a brazen abuse of power and meant to stop journalists from doing the

so gay arg is this acquittal victory for freedom of the press in the philippines. i definitely say it's, it's a step in that direction. maria theresa has said all along that the charges were politically motivated and now the she has the official confirmation, at least that there are unfounded. she made clear once again, that's a rebelar is a 100 percent independent and a 100 percent in philippine hands. although they're getting money from abroad and her lawyers made also clear, and that's quite crucial that any other decision by the court would have had major repercussions for businesses and companies that are also seeking a financial support from abroad in the philippines. now what is the state of media freedom in the philippines to day must have been media has been considered as one of the freest in southeast asia. for many years that changed under a former president to tear to where the traditional media really came under fire. and that hasn't much changed under a president for marcus junior. the current president, one also however, has to say that he hasn't enfo

now the philippine drug enforcement agency is not part of the philippine national police, but during the last administration, led by philippine president would return to the 3rd day to turn himself had said that it was to the best of his knowledge that the police generals within the philippine national police were or are involved in the illegal drug trade. and so i will said that clearly there is an internal problem here and so he said, call it a short cut if you was. but the wheels of justice in the philippines just turn so slow. so this is a radical move. he said that if necessary, but human rights groups say that this undermines the philippines, criminal justice system. i mean, while the philippine president is on the 2nd day of his visit to china, ferdinand marcos julia as many members of the standing committee of the national people's congress, it was due to meet the chinese leaders choosing pink or wednesday. the european union commission wants to crack down on a legal migration by people who travel into the block through the western balkans. officials now say the roots is the m

some analysts in the philippines are concerned. they say beijing could use negotiations as stalling tactics, give it time to strengthen its control in the area in the sea. >> and marcos' visit touches on more than just joint resource development. what's the bigger picture here? >> analysts say it appears to play into the battle between the u.s. and china for influence in the region. since taking office in june, marcos has deepened security ties with wang sen chen. in september, he had face-to-face talks with u.s. president joe biden. they discussed strengthening the military alliance between their countries. and several senior u.s. officials including vice president kamala harris, visited the philippines in the past six months. marcos is highlighting his country's close tie with the u.s. by holding large-scale joint military drills in october. the previous administration here relied on its ties to china to try to get economic benefits, but it failed. analysts say marcos took lessons from that and is trying to use this rival ril -- r
