u. s. and japan, shipmates on as a vote of democracy, but really his main message to us lawmakers was so u. s. is not alone. meaning if they you, us does not leave japan to stand up to china alone in the in the pacific. then japan will not also leave us alone on the global stage to act as the world policeman. this is of course, happening against the backdrop of growing a skepticism, especially among us house republicans about. so you was to, is a role in the world about the us to support for foreign wars offer support for its allies and void embroiled in foreign wars. and what so the expectation from casita here is, is that they should not give up on us leadership. and if they don't, japan will be there to help. now, to be fair, japan really has been putting it's money where it's analysis. it's an act and several key policy changes in the last 2 years that really did allow it to become a better defense partner. like lifting some of the kurds on its defense, exports like increasing its defense spending to record levels. now there is also worth noting, of course, that japan is the biggest sup

u. s. u k, australia, by using such countries by my, by the coalition ship or not, his actual locations. we have established, it does have us relationships. but for japan to have a direct quote question with locus, nothing has been decided to move this movement going forward with u. s. u k. 4 with australia, with such countries while you are in biological or multi rental frameworks, we will continue the corporation for the truck so that they will continue to be consider at the moment about the relationship potential pending locus. that's it. with regard to my discussions with a b, b then you know, promising to know as well as our relationship with this room. i have been very blunt, straightforward with the prime minister, as well as his work cabinet, as well as the can. and the fact of the matter is that the i b b and i have a long discussion and he agreed to do several things that related to number one, getting more agencies and both food and medicine and the guys and reducing significantly the time the civilian casualties in any action taken in the region, and thus far away that's tied to the hostages. there are a number of hostages that are being he

japan. and then of course, there's the longstanding alliance with the u. s. that japan has had and has increased in the recent years. there are 60000 troops, stations, americans, troops stationed in japan. and japan has recently also made sure that for example, it's can repair us warships that has been difficult because of the pesticides constitution. but they have been changes made. and then last but not least, those also national politics involved because prime minister can you see that he has seen his approval ratings tank in recent months and weeks. and for him, the summit is really also the chance to, to give his do minutes in the country of course, which he really needs. james, what's tie one hoping to result from these tools. it's not invited but will be a focus. of course, it's joe with of course why one doesn't have full multiplan mastic relations with any of these countries, but it's absolutely fine to say that the 3 countries pulling closer together will increase a sense of security. that's why we need specials have here in taipei about the prospect

japan. that would enhance cooperation between the u. s. and japanese military's, as well as, they're also expected to announce the creation of a military industrial council for both countries will be able to evaluate where they can cope, reduce defense weapons along with a raft of other economic defense and even space agreements. so that really goes to show just how hard these countries are working together to be able to, to, to our china and safeguard the rules based order in the region. janelle, through my law and far as their and james j to thank you to both of you exit polls . so the liberal opposition in south korea on costs for a landslide, victory impala mentoring elections, the democratic party and its allies, a full cost to take at least $2.00 thirds of the $300.00 seats. counting is under way off for a re quote, turned out such a big majority would make president jones. he'll kill a lame duck leader for his last 3 years. and office the ukraine size balance of the 117 a. tank times and several missiles to tug at the south over nig

u. s. and japan partnerships will help deter china even as the 2 leaders and says, this isn't about conflict with anyone country. rather this is about military readiness, but of course we can all read between the lines. of course, this is about china. you know, i want you to stand by say, with this we were to take a closer look. now what is at stake for the us and its partners in the, in the pacific in the south china sea this week show a force from the us and it's in the pacific allies, the us, japan and the philippines along side of straight here. in that 1st of the joint naval exercises designed to uphold freedom of navigation in the contested waters. the drills are probably to another fuss thursday's historic summit between the leaders of the us, japan and the philippine spots. the 2 countries with which washington has mutual defense treaties bringing these nations together, what some japanese officials call the most complex security environment since world war 2. including a more belligerent north korea, but mainly a more assertive china under president shooting paint. post manila and t

u. s. and japan did not include in the document. well, it's good for us to submit its own to off on the issue into the security council. however, the us of the boxes of the you and has seen some old syria motives and rejecting the draft. washington as excuse me, ask of developing nuclear weapons. the space in which could be used against satellites, but russia denies those plans. it's, it's about the liberty met recently. there have been more and more unsubstantiated accusations against russia, for example, that we are supposedly going to build nuclear weapons in space. such allegations, which are nothing but allegations are just deployed to drag us into negotiations on their own terms, which are favorable only to the usa. at the same time, they block our proposal that has been on the table for more than 15 years, meaning the draft treaty on preventing the deployment of weapons in space, which we prepared back in 2008. nothing to the russian. a representative to the us has pointed out exactly that, that when you are accusing rupture

u. s. and japan to nothing clued in the document. moscow has promised to submit his own draft on the issue to the security council. however, the us ambassador to the un has seen some alteri of motives and rejecting the draw . quick washington is accused, must go up developing nuclear weapons for space, which they say will be used against satellite silicon. russia has made it kind of cool. is that nonsense? a possibly new, very recently, there has been more and more unsubstantiated accusations against russia, for example, that we are supposedly going to build nuclear weapons and spaces which allegations do in those or nothing. but navigation is just deployed to drag as intern negotiations on their own terms and efficient way briefly only for the us. we look at the same time, they block our proposal that has been on the plate much more than 15 years. and that's over the cleaning, the draft treated on preventing the deployment, which ends the space, which we prepared back into the manufacturing. and i think the russian, a representative to the us has pointed out exactly that on this, that whe

u. s. and japan did nothing clued in the document. moscow has promised to submit his own draft on the issue to the security council. however, the us ambassador to the un has seen some alteri about him and rejecting the draw. washington, his accused must go up developing nuclear weapons for space, which they say will be used against laughter lied to select russia has made it kind of pulls that nonsense a possibly new very recently there had been more and more unsubstantiated accusations against russia, for example, that we are supposedly going to build nuclear weapons and spaces which allegations to turn nothing but allegation is just deployed to drag us into negotiations on their own terms. an efficient way, briefly only to us at the same time they lock up and most of that has been on the plate much more than 15 years. and the shopping cleaning the draft, treating on preventing the deployment with weapons. now space, which we prepared back into the manufacturing and i think the record is a representative to the us as pointed out exactly that on this, that when you are using russia of hiding

u. s. is in the pacific strategy. now today they are expected to announce upgrades to their security relationship and including changes to the u. s. command in japan that would allow the us to work more closely with the japanese military. they're also expected to announce a military industrial council that would allow the 2 countries to evaluate where they can cope, reduce defense weapons along with a host of other economic security space and artificial intelligence agreements all to show that it is important to them, to elevate this relationship and take in during steps in order to prove it. your ability in the face of the increased chinese aggression and also in order to future proof it depending on who ends up in power in tokyo, more in washington to be able to stand by and when it come back to you in just a moment. but 1st, we want to take a closer look now at what is at stake for the us and its partners in the, in the pacific. in the south china sea, this week show a force from the us and it's in the pacific highlights the us, japan and the philippines alongside australia, in that 1st of the joint naval exercises designed to uphold freedom of

u. s. the u. k. u, along with countries like australia, canada, japan of all, imposed over 16500 sanctions just on russia. now, is that the next opportunity for the americans to go after the chinese? i mean, if that doesn't work, they go back there. other technique which is steal, strangle, and sanction, and they will try to do everything they can to sanction china into an oblivion likely of attempted unsuccessfully to do with russia. the americans, when they want to stir up trouble, they will. i mean, this is china's tie one here. they should just go back and look at the communicate many decades ago. they're agreements that they would not arm or even come near taiwan. and once again, there's during the problems, it's the playbook. we've seen this playbook time and time again. i think america at this time is running out of nations to actually evade switzerland has announced that a so called pay something new crane will take place in mid june without russian participation. this was foreign minister alleges they tried to involve moscow if you need be, i think look at it, it has, this has gone so it was sup

u. s. europe and japan. it's just the beginning. so stella mentioned oh, perspective. when people find a way to improve themselves through technology, they develop it side to an integrated into every day. nice event and actually skeleton will be positive, but i will find them focusing on what king lives on private lives. as we grow older, they'll help us live longer and stay independent. it will become normal to web robots, so not bodies, but the look like. it's a vision that's convinced german automotive supplier movie at the company produces the exoskeletons in north run, west failure. the next delivery is ready to go. destination is the us ship on cuba is responsible for the new product line. he expects a large global market for exoskeletons in the next 2 to 5 years. the heated, the v. them deliver movement is used worldwide in an incident number of workplaces . it's a really basic important movement ones and mobile support in the form of an extra scale. some is, we think a very mobile way to do this, protecting the backend. and in case there is any doubt generating

u. s. the u. k. u, along with countries like australia, canada, japan of all impose over 16500 sanctions just on russia. now is that and the next, the opportunity for the americans to go after the chinese, i mean, if that doesn't work, they go back there other technique which is steal, strangle, and sanction. and they will try to do everything they can to sanction china into. and i believe you likely have attempted unsuccessfully to do with russia. the alex, the state department, has claims that your pay and security is our priority for washington, but to washington. but to what extent does us policy toward russia actually contribute to such security? once again, all diplomatic channels are closed. i mean there is no sharing of any information between these countries at all. i mean security, we hear security risks, whether it's a i t property, we hear it through, you know, terrorism. i mean this, if we're going to focus on russia for a 2nd here, this is a country that has been pretty much locked internationally from flying anywhere outside their nation, except of course, a nation's that are not sanctio

and as for those, as for japan and the u. s. also trying to get closer to the philippines. so they're also trying to put together a joint coast guard patrol for perhaps just as important as these security initiatives that you cannot make. initiatives are going to be quite significant for the philippines as well. so japan and that you was have pledged a high grade investments in the philippines and economic core door in the northern islands of lose on investments in telecommunications and modernizing ports in upgrading railways and improving connectivity in order to be able to show that the philippines does not have to fear economic co, worse than from china. that standing up to be, ging doesn't necessarily mean that the filipino will have to be worried about the loss of investment from china as it tries to defend it. so, solver and territory from chinese aggression. that was the w, corresponded janelle doing a lot on reporting for us from washington. thank you very much for your insights of the 10s of thousands of people in southern russia and cause its done as in, flooded

u. s. military installations on japan alone. and yet here's america. yes. so far away from the home in the south china sea, basically trying to tell china what to do is china listening. benjamin the china of course, is not backing out, especially in the us right now is trying to hollow, especially of the one china policy all the time and straight, which is part of the self tennessee that is china is for tonight. and there was a lot of resources and it has always been the territory of the good of china seems engine time. so china is not kind of backed out of is offering to all these kinds of to see. yeah, yeah. i mean, look at the end of a day, it is basically about the, the global hedge long trying to keep its grip around the world. it doesn't matter how far from his territorial board as the united states goes, militarily speaking, an economically speaking. that's why you put all these countries on the bricks and the global south as so many people call them the d dot our i's, asian coalition. a benjamin child was professor of the power school of technology

u. s. claim that it's defense commitments to japan and the philippines on what the president called . i implied a do you think there is a need to write, but those asian countries need to defend themselves against? i guess what i and asians, i mean, this is ridiculous. we've heard this same kind of talk coming out of him about ukraine, also about guys in israel and all of these things. he likes to repeat the same things. i don't know if he realizes he does it and then he has to is forced to back down on it. this is like i said, it just simply encouraging. now remember, this 2nd thomas show is about a, it's not a piece of land. it's just the sho underwater what the philippines did is a rammed and old world war 2 destroyer onto it. now that show is disputed by 4 countries, including taiwan. so, you know, by simply making a land grab it, was this philippines that enacted this kind of, you know, embarcadero, they're, they're the ones who are at fault here. there's no international defense for ramming old ships on to shoals and claiming that you are somehow in control of that . if that's th

u. s. presidential by them as well to defensive philippines and japan, offering stones backing to a specific allies. he's hosted the 1st trial, actual summit, where china is growing military assertiveness an age up top. the agenda of corresponded james straight to possible the prime minister of japan in washington this week, a rupture as reception for the us is in the pacific allies, japanese prime minister mucous you to became only his country. secondly, that's a form of the address, the us congress issuing stone warnings about the threats posed by bay. james in china is current external stance and military actions present. i'm press the dentist and the greatest strategic challenge. keisha does remarks came and made a flurry of diplomatic activity, reclaimed, galvanizing washington's asian allies shortly off to a historic 1st step of try last rule summit between the leaders of the us, japan and the philippines. but the focus of that me thing, growing concerns in manila and so po, about maritime disputes with aging. china in recent months has stepped up progression against the philippine ves

u. s. as basically is played the role of a protector of japan since the, the end of the 2nd world war. considering that i want to quote something that you wrote, you co authored or a recent article about the alliance between the us and japan and e, right. for the past 70 years, the alliance is operating with 2 separate command structures, the united states and japan ege retaining their independent chains of command. but you could want to say that in a conflict with china, this setup may no longer be fit for purpose. it could even be a disaster. why do you think that to yes, are spent decades now studying military alliances and coalitions when they actually go in have to fight words together. and one of the things that i had originally found was that the single most important thing was actually having a unified command structure. meaning that there was a way for there are to be a single overall supreme commander in charge of all allied forces to be able to help with planning and to coordinate that effort. it's hard to believe, given how long standing this alliances and giving the closest the relati

japan's prime minister for me. ok, she has urged the united states to continue to play a leading role in international affairs. casita address the u. s. congress for the 1st time since taking office in 2021. on wednesday, the us on japan announced plans for a new joint air defense network. the collaboration comes and made growing tensions with beijing in the south china sea, philippines. presidents will joined vive non casita for a summit, focused on defense. molly's mother turns into his band. all political activities st, it's needed to maintain public order. earlier this month for the 80 parties and civic groups called on the military leadership to hold presidential elections as soon as possible. molly has been under military rules since a qu nearly 3 years ago. more than a 100 people have died during a record breaking sheet wave in molly, in west africa, temperatures and one town reached 48.5 degrees celsius media, all or just say, that's the hardest ever recorded on the continent for an expense reports, there's not much access to electricity, and molly, so using funds or i condition is to get released from extreme heat is nearly

military drills between the united states, the philippines, australia and japan, in the dispute of territory. on sunday, the u. s is seeking to strengthen defense cooperation with its allies in the region to count of china is growing, inflict, spitting claims, almost the whole of the south china sea, as it's totally leading to confrontations with its neighbors. china said, carried out its own exercises at the same time. let's go straight to the w correspondent, james j to in taipei. james, why are these drills taking place now? is one of course the key concepts of these drills is china is growing assertiveness in the south china. so you mentioned in the introduction, the about the grubbing aggressiveness. we've seen talk through the philippine vessels a not region around disputed items. even though paging wasn't mentioned explicitly and the announcements of these drills is very candid. this is the target all of the countries of visuals that are taking place between these 4 countries. as again, as he mentioned in natural, the introduction, china thing, suburbs here is almost the entirety of the south china sea. t

u. s congress 9 years ago. ave was a super hawk and he put japan on the road toward militarization. keisha has now double down on that. i a says that he's still strongly poses nuclear weapons. however, japan has not supported the t p, end of u, the u, a nuclear band treaty. and there are a lot of elements within the case, she does all the party. the one is the japan either develop its own nuclear weapons or host us nuclear weapons, as ave called for just a few years ago before who was assassinated. and so this very hawkish party. and clearly it is, the japan is the only country that ever had atomic bombs used against it in warfare to. but nuclear weapons are use repeatedly as my friend dan ellsberg would say, the same says that a robber are holding the gun to someone's had to use that gun without pulling the trigger. this meeting between 2 should at marcos and by then and cation is speech. to the united nations, i've been to the u. s. congress is a step in the wrong direction. and by the end had spoken by phone with she, jim ping just 2 weeks ago. and it looked like maybe there was at leas

u. s. may target china economically as it did with russia since the special military operation in ukraine by the us, the u. k. u, along with countries like australia, canada, japan of all, imposed over 16500 sanctions just on russia. now is that in the next uh, opportunity for the americans to go after the chinese. i mean, if that doesn't work, they go back to their other technique which is steal, strangle, and sanction. and they will try to do everything they can to sanction china into and i believe in likely, of attempted unsuccessfully to do with russia, the americans, when they want to stir up trouble, they will, i mean, this is china's tie one here. they should just go back and look at the community many decades ago. they're agreements that they would not arm or even come near taiwan. and once again, there's 3 problems. it's the playbook. we've seen this playbook time and time again . i think america at this time is running out of nations to actually evade the last 24 hours of the day of 63 people killed and 45 more wounded by id f attacks on garza. this brings the total number of people killed since october . the 7th wave of 33500. according to the local h

u. s. a. in, in that is also, and facing a shot inflation. russian economy doing much better even than japan. and seeking on this all 5 so anything that kind of the same, basically these thank you very much for the premium to lose their lives in support of the west. we very happy for that. and the only thing that we all concerned about the how much equipment russia is moving to the end of the day. what is the fucking feet telling us who is winning? and it was newsy. david cameron has a fall of being unable to convince us it will make us to approve more funding for ukraine. republicans. so let's just say is washington has already spend too much on k as just stop wasting money while america's own economy is on the roads of my staff looked into it, it's about $300.00 millions of their best guesstimate right now we're, we're printing our bar and $80000.00 per 2nd. 4.6000000 a minute. we can't sustain that much longer. we gotta find the best way to spend our money. anyway, so it will make us when both parties also demanded that the bond administration disclosure is how much it already has its own

u. s. a in, in that is also and facing shop inflation. why russia's economy doing much better, even then japan and you sitting on this all 5, why they call them, you need it. so anything that camera is saying, basically these, thank you very much for the great and to lose their lives in the, in the support of the west. we very happy for that. and the only thing that we all concerned about is how much equipment using to get in and do the day. what is the bucking feet telling us who is winning and it was newsy russian troops. i've got around hopping on the offensive and on boston months, taking several cities and towns. the country's military industry is also booming. according to the defense industry watching things i have a time when has failed to mention lots as well. this is not new because in the task, many members of the congress said that this is the cheapest for the us because what they do is they print money and they don't even send this to you to ukraine as that'd be store. yeah. and then the assistant, us secretary of state said 84 percent hold the money that's all supposed to be the
