albanese and prime minister sunak.my honor to welcome you both to the united states as we take the next critical step in advancing the australia, u.s., u.k. partnership -- aukus. it's an unusual name, "aukus," but it's a powerful entity. you know, when our countries first announced aukus 18 months ago, i'm not at all sure that anyone would have believed that -- how much progress we'd be able to make together and how quickly we'd accomplish it. and i want to thank the members of all our teams who helped bring us to this pivotal moment sitting here in front of us. thank you all very much. secretary austin, secretary of the navy del toro -- [applause] thanks for letting us come to your house, chief of naval operations, admiral gilday -- where are you, admiral? there you are. and thank you for hosting us at naval base of point loma. and i also want to thank representative joe courtney, founder of the bipartisan aukus working group, and all the members of the congress who are here today. thank you for being here. you are --

the prime minister of great britain , rishi sunak, and the prime minister of australia, anthony albaneseng a meeting in the american san diego, california, the day before the leaders of the three countries agreed to continue providing ukraine with all the necessary military economic and humanitarian support, in addition, joe biden , rishi sunak and anthony albanese expressed their readiness to continue the sanctions pressure on the russian economy, and the prime minister briefly summarized their meeting of great britain in an interview with the american television channel nbc news, we are listening to rishi sunaka in direct speech, i think now. it is important that we speed it up and strengthen our support for ukraine. i say this because now if to properly help the ukrainians, they have the opportunity to gain a decisive advantage on the battlefield, that is why we decided to provide them with more opportunities, tanks , longer-range missiles, more air defense, that is, we just want to do everything possible so that ukraine can win. well, before presenting you with the following informat

so sarah, how significant is this agreement for australia with anthony albanese, is declaring this is a new door for australia's defense policy. we've talked about it being the, the largest defense acquisition and strategies history. and we talked about the cost being up to $250000000000.00 over the next 3 decades. i should note that this deal was initially announced under the former prime minister at scott morrison this deal. the agreement has bilateral support from both major parties in parliament. we've talked about the 3 american manufacture nuclear subs being unveiled or delivered in the 20 thirty's. but we've also got the additional a 2 to be opted into if need be, but long term we're talking about boosting australia, defense intelligence between the 3 navies, and that's across the intelligence technology, all using the same technology. the governors also having that this agreement will act as a deterrent for a tour, basically for the face of long term foreign threats. and as john mentioned initially, we're talking about china in particularly and sarah, what about the impact tha

west valia with the anthony albanese, has described this as an dawn for australia's defense policy. and as he mentioned, this is the largest defense acquisition in australia's history, in the pitch that he's been making to the australian audience is jobs. he's talking about creating up to $20000.00 jobs over the next 3 decades across defense, public service and industry. and i should know that this deal was signed under the full prime minister scott morrison, and it does have bilateral support in australia, parliament. we've talked about what the purchase means to strike 3 american manufactured virginia class nuclear subs to stop with, with the option to buy an additional 2. and of course design and construction is already underway on these brand new subs. and in a strategy, these jobs are rolling out as of this year 2023. and this is a strategy looking to build these hybrid nuclear subs. and of course, the reason for this purchase in the pitch that's been mighty astray, an audience that this is the but the ability giving us the ability to bolster the intelligence sharing between th

and indo pacific region announcements was made during a meeting between australian prime minister albanese u. s. present jo by none that british prime minister wishes sooner in san diego, california. it comes 18 months soft. the countries formed a security lines called orchestra. his main goal is to bring australia into the folded navies possessing nuclear power submarines. today, we're not you the steps to carry out our 1st project under arcus and. 1 developing australia's conventionally arm nuclear powered shrubbery capacity. these subs are powered not nuclear arms subs or nuclear power, not nuclear arm. australia is a proud non nuclear weapons state and is committed to stay that way. now our partnership is significant because not just a we building the submarines together. they will also be truly into operable. the royal navy will operate the same submarines as the australian navy and we will both share components and pause with the u. s. navy, the orchestra gray met we confirm hearing sandy, i represent the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about histor

anthony albanese is declaring this as a new dawn 1st rally as defense policy. it is the largest defense acquisition in australia, history with a cost of about $250000000000.00 over the next 30 years. now it does have bilateral support in federal parliament and is expected to create up to $20000.00 jobs over the next few decades across the industry, defense and public service. now the key is to boosted of defense capabilities sharing between the 3 navies. because they're using the same common technology, but the government's hoping that this agreement will act as a deterrent in the face of increasing foreign threats. in particular, china, in the endo pacific region, 2 will raise the cost for china if it's contemplating any kind of military action. now of course it's gonna take some time for strategy to acquire this capability is try and government has offered china a briefing on the lightest details of this trilateral security agreement. but richard miles, the defense minister says he's yet to get a response out of beijing. but we do know that china has been hig

joe biden and anthony albanese , biden and anthony albanese, dunng biden and anthony albanese, duringly british nuclear powered submarines to australia will be confirmed. the aim of the august

we'd seen the 2 ladies sheet in pink and anthony albanese made on the sidelines of the g 20 meeting. and this, of course, was after a decade of turbulence under the former prime minister, scott morrison. but in it's unlikely that china will take warmly to the lightest detail of this is a security agreement. i am what is considered the largest defense acquisition in australia's history. any mark as the senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization, and he says the orcus deal will have a destabilizing effect on the indo pacific region. i think this only strengthens the view ah, that has been articulated by president c and things on the foreign minister that if the u. s. continues down this pass. ah, it raises the risk of outright conflict. and of course, this is not good for china, but it's also not good for the us as well as we all know. the u. s. is economically intertwined with china, as are many other countries around the world. so these destabilizing actions really are counterproductive, in many, many aspects. for the u. s. is, in a sense, has one tool to play,

order of business here in san diego is a bilateral meeting with his australian counterpart anthony albanesehis trilateral grouping with the united states was first established, yet they both have a lot to benefit from it. the idea is that a number of nuclear—propelled submarines will be sold to australia, built both here in the united states and in britain — a huge shot in the arm for the shipbuilding industry in the uk and here in the us. — and, of course, a massive support for australia's naval capabilities. why is all of this happening? really because of a shared concern about china's expansionist ambitions in the south china seas, in terms of its role in the indo—pacific region more generally. beijing has criticised the group for what it calls "acting with a cold war mentality" and "undermining nuclear non—proliferation agreements". australia has been at pains to point out that the submarines will not be carrying nuclear weapons, will only be carrying conventional weapons, but some observers are worried about a sort of new cold war, about a sort of second arms race. saudi arabia's state

a sparkling water for anthony albanese, a still water for rishi sunak.o, with its proud military history, is all about countering concerns about china. but at the same time, of course, there is a war raging in europe, in ukraine, and just a matter of weeks ago, we had the defence secretary, ben wallace, saying the british army was underfunded and had been hollowed out. now, he has welcomed this extra money being allocated, but the big question is, will it be enough? in a volatile world, that is far from certain. labour claim the conservatives have failed on defence. chris mason, bbc news, in san diego. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale is here. £5 billion of extra defence spending — it sounds like an awful lot of money. 0ver over two years and it is probably not as much as ben wallace wanted, i think he probably wanted double that, but it is also wto looking at how that money breaks down, so 3 billion of that 5 billion is going to be spent on britain's defence nuclear industry, in other words precisely the reason why rishi sunak is in america, bec

monday when president biden hosts the british and australian prime ministers rishi sunak and anthony albaneseup 18 months ago, named after australia, the uk and the us. its remit — to provide co—operation to counter any potential threats from china. our correspondent will grant is in san diego for the meeting. rishi sunak has now arrived in california and the first order of business is a bilateral meeting with his australian counterpart anthony albanese. two men have a lot to discuss and neither of them was in power when this trilateral grouping with the united states first established, yet they both have a lot to benefit from it. the idea is a number of nuclear propelled submarines will be sold to australia, billed both here in the united states and in britain. a huge shotin states and in britain. a huge shot in the arm for the shipbuilding industry in the uk and here in the us. and, of course, a massive support for australia's naval capabilities. why is all of this happening? really because of a shared concern about china's expansionist ambitions in the south china sea is, in terms of its r

sunak met his australian anthony albanese in san diego.ahead of unveiling a major new orca defence pact. as it's known between the uk, the united states australia plans be announced in conjunction with president joe biden. include supplying nuclear powered submarines to australia. ahead of that meeting , mr. sunak ahead of that meeting, mr. sunak praised the current between the united kingdom and america. our relationship with america economically is very strong . our economically is very strong. our exports are growing massively anyway and we are concluding agreements with states. remember many american states are, as as both countries and actually increasing our economic ties a state level. it's something that can be really good for britain and good for jobs. and can be really good for britain and good forjobs. and so can be really good for britain and good for jobs. and so we're getting on and doing that well . getting on and doing that well. well, here at home, the government's illegal bill is currently being debated right now in the h

to finalise anthony albanese.finalise an agreement to provide australia with nuclear submarines. joining us now for more on this mep , us now for more on this mep, former brexit party mep ben habib. on all of this, how important is this alliance, ben? i think it's very important. actually, i think it's one of the positive developments of the last couple of years is that we're re—establishing our links with the us and australia in effectively what is obviously the delivery of new submarines to australia. but the industrial base required to , you know, base required to, you know, produce these kinds of weapons going forward, both in the us and particularly in the uk where we've neglected the development of that kind of industrial base for decades . so i think it's for decades. so i think it's a very positive step forward for that. it's interesting. the prime minister talking about this, helping in the need to tackle a more volatile world, particularly referencing china and russia. and yet we know that, for example,

the size of albanese, could see the size of the country's nuclear fleet double.rey, the prime minister said he's doing what's necessary to keep the country safe . our to keep the country safe. our approach is completely aligned with that of our closest allies, america, australia , japan, america, australia, japan, canada. all of us are on the same page and how we think about china, how we're approaching it. and i'd say for everyone to know that you are all our allies as a country are all working together, we share the same view and will act together. well, we've just had the security minister, tom tugendhat, telling us government is doing what us the government is doing what can respond to these can to respond to these challenges from china . unless he challenges from china. unless he is dealing with china is going to require a whole of government approach and why the integrated review that was published yesterday is so important because it doesn't just talk about the military element and their i can, if you like i can point to the £5 billion increase in the defe

, and minister anthony albanese, and thatis minister anthony albanese, and that is in relation to thee orcas deal, which is of huge significance globally actually. joining me now is the defence editor of the telegraph and fanfare everywhere on gb news. called content. thank you very much. great to have you on show. let's deal with first things first. defence spending right here prepare for us here at home to prepare for us more volatile world is fine enough. where's he going to go ? enough. where's he going to go? well i think the military is grateful for any extra money from the government, but frankly, this is nothing more than a stepping blaster. 3 billion of that. 5 billion will go on supporting submarine building program, which , like so building program, which, like so many other programs , has fallen many other programs, has fallen well behind. and they've been they've been embarrassed into doing this because, as you said, they've just about signed this deal to build a new fleet of nuclear powered submarines. the australian so we can't even build our submarines. and how are we

president biden and prime ministers rishi sunak and anthony albanese have been meeting in san diego.ome analysts have described the pact as the most significant security arrangement between the three nations since world war ii. the alliance is widely seen as a major effort to counter beijing's growing military influence in the indo-pacific region. partnership means china faces a powerful new defense alliance in the region. beijing has called the pact irresponsible and warns that it risks intensifying the arms race. pres. biden: today, we are announcing steps to carry out the first project developing australia's nuclear powered submarine capacity. these submarines are powered, not nuclear armed, not nuclear armed. australia is a proud nonnuclear state and committed to stay that way. >> the august agreement we confirm in san diego represents the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all of our history, strengthening australia's national security and stability in our region, building a future made in australia with record investments in skills, jobs, and infrast

the prime minister, his australian counter , anthony albanese and us counter, anthony albanese and usdent joe biden in san diego in the states announce the next stage of the orcas program, as it's called. it was signed by the three nations in 2021 to boost defence's and counter china's in the indo—pacific region . that comes as number 10 region. that comes as number 10 announced today. defence spending will rise by almost £5 billion over two years and mr. sunak earlier praised the relationship . the uk and america relationship. the uk and america relationship. the uk and america relationship with america economically is very strong. our exports are massively anyway and we are concluding agreements states. remember many americans are as big as both countries and actually increasing our economic ties at a state level. it's something could be really good for britain and, good forjobs. for britain and, good for jobs. and so we're getting on and doing that . meanwhile, here at doing that. meanwhile, here at home, the government's illegal migration bill is still currently being debated in t

uh, what is there now these three people ba showed up, this is albanese and suna in san diego, thoughhat kind of missouri did they bring a battleship there, or what? from the harbar? here, in my opinion, yes, in my opinion, it was not visible there, but to show the indicator is very interesting, because the plan that they outlined is the first stage of this plan. the fact that we have a seventh country that will produce yes in the early forties of this century, but will produce nuclear submarines. this australia has two six countries that now they also have technologies , a production base, respectively, shipyards, which makes this us the united states great britain france and the chinese india nobody else australia should be here is the third country that will produce this, but the most interesting thing. the first is the first stage also ends in the twenty- seventh year. this deployment on a rotational basis of five submarines in persia, the west coast of australia control of the nadean ocean, what is china in general? well, i would say not what i called, but a direct military threa

anthony albanese is of the mind that enshrining this indigenous voice to parliament would have practicalsuffer disproportionately high rates of poverty, ill—health and incarceration. it is worth noting too in many instances indigenous australians have a life expectancy of ten years left than other people in the country and the government is on the view that this constitutional recognition would make a practical benefit, a practical difference to australia's indigenous peoples —— ten years less. indigenous peoples -- ten years less. ~ :, :, , :, indigenous peoples -- ten years less. :, :, , :, :, less. what does poling say of where ublic less. what does poling say of where public opinion _ less. what does poling say of where public opinion is _ less. what does poling say of where public opinion is and _ less. what does poling say of where public opinion is and why _ less. what does poling say of where public opinion is and why is - less. what does poling say of where public opinion is and why is a - public opinion is and why is a referendum needed? than public opinion is and why is a refe
