is a very accurate and vivid image of a time bomb tick tick tick michael ramirez's fears of a chinese navycraft carrier. clearly american, but the chinese naval construction is written on the wave, the view of the chinese themselves on us relations is a drawing of liorul from the english-language newspaper china daily here and without words it is clear who creates, and who destroys? a set of tin cars produced 40 years ago by the moscow orlyonok plant was called tourist and everything about africa you see, before globalization, real tourism. it seemed to us literary. e listen far, far away on the lake. chad exquisite roam the giraffe, but and so on in the soviet kids were offered. uh, it's romantic to dream, since tourism is applied, then it was not very common. but cooperation with africa has changed very much since then , our country has practically left africa more than once, global tourism to us, on the contrary, come and go now. he is back in africa. more precisely, we are going there, like the children of the eighties, the world, large and diverse , we have to rediscover. true, in his

so eyelid it said then that the chinese navy throw it away and that it continues to be on high alert, and that secures the us of causing instability in the region. now the us says that this statement is false and not the 1000000 is continuing to conduct what washington says off freedom of navigation, operation in international waters. now, much of the south trying to see is claimed by the aging as its own territory. this area by the parasol islands, about 7 square kilometer is de facto controlled by china. and it's navy, it's been building up artificial islands that intensify its military activities. but this area, which is resource rich, is also claimed by taiwan and vietnam. now the u. s. has been increasing, its presence in the region in the, in the pacific is just on a deal with the philippines to build up more bases that it's also agreed to supply a strategy with nuclear power submarines. and according to this, they, according to beijing, this amounts to encroachment of trying to treat. and so come once and paging says it's merely responding to us actions. katrina, thank you very

which is navy day today, by the navy of the army and the irgc with the support of the russian and chinese navies. the liberation of captured ships and the fire extinguishing of vessels are practiced. each unit in a column of the naval units of iran, russia and china is the so-called fatviks military, or that is, the registration of order and coordination for the joint exercise . its depth is approx four kilometers immediately, the present units were ready to target the targets on the surface for each country . the orange forces intend to cut off the communication lines and the message to the accompanying units is done like this. the pill that is being observed now is hitting the maersk mak or isfahan , which is the ship that had an accident and does not have radio communication with the coast or its ship anymore . the light is asking for help from your own ship it took a short time to respond to the attacking forces that were trying to invade from the air. the next stage of the joint exercise between iran, russia and china is to free the hostages from the hands of terrorists and pirates, as well

good to go back and think about was preceded this and we seen a decade of industrial scale in chinese army—navyat has happened at the same time as we've seen the emergence of diplomacy and the exercise of shore power including in sanctions on australia and the persistence of surveillance and harassment of surveillance and harassment of japanese missiles in of surveillance and harassment ofjapanese missiles in the islands and expansion in the south china sea the assertiveness that is readily countries around the region and all this would not be possible were it not for the rhetoric coming out of xi jinping were it not for the rhetoric coming out of xijinping in beijing over the past few years. it's been inconceivable a decade ago this is only possible because of the joint fear about the adventures coming out of beijing. what came first, the chicken or the act, you can go back to the 18305 act, you can go back to the 1830s and 50s if you'd like talking by the 0pium wars revisited and that's an oversimplification but the bottom line is, this is a reaction to real—life, real—time challenges today.

bring more and more country into the region and begin to assert itself against a fast—growing chinese navy largest navy in the world, although the us navy is more powerful. so what this is all about is trying to get nuclear powered submarines into the pacific ocean to have them initially based in australia and then have australia's own nuclear powered submarines. that would put australia on the technology par with china. and with a greater presence of british submarines in the end of pacific region and of course you submarines that would perhaps achieve some kind of parity or at least with china into the 20 30s in 20 405. it's least with china into the 20 30s in 20 40s. it's no surprise that china wants to talk about it and complain about nonproliferation. is wants to talk about it and complain about nonproliferation.— about nonproliferation. is not fair to talk about _ about nonproliferation. is not fair to talk about non-preparation's l to talk about non—preparation�*s president biden was at pains to say that these are nuclear powered submarines, they don't of nuclear arms on them.— subm

navy, a piloted plane i was aboard where the chinese jet flew along the wing of the u.s. plane, the navy plane for about an hour. there were communications between the chinese air force and the u.s. navy plane to make sure that no accident could take place. and this is a routine thing that takes place in the south china sea heavily contested waters. the black sea also is an area where prior to the russian invasion of ukraine there had been incidents where russian jets had buzzed u.s. destroyers, for example, that were conducting maneuvers in the black sea. but this is different, of course. the description, the accusations, the pentagon saying that these jets were actually in physical contact with a drone, with an unmanned aerial vehicle, a very different story, a hostile act, quite frankly, which is what the u.s. has called it. there were hopes in this incredibly tense area, briana and john, of perhaps something moving forward. the russians just agreed with the united nations to continue this black sea initiative, allowing grain to be exported from ukraine to international

chinese communist party. and as use of data report directly, the united states navy is denying a chinese military statement saying a u. s. war ship has been forced out of the south china sea. on thursday, the chinese military said it drove the destroyer u. s. s 1000000 away from disputed waters near the parcel on it. but the u. s. navy says it's destroyer is continuing its routine operations in the area. most schools in afghanistan of reopened after the winter break, but the nations taliban leaders are still barring teenage girls from attending since the taliban to take over 2021. only girls age 12 and under been allowed to go to school. the taliban government also banned women from higher education. united nations calls it gender based apartheid. okay, i'll be back with a full news hour ride off the 2nd half of al jazeera investigation stick around for that communist putney office to move mr. stanley's dirty cache from hong kong to, to buy there are 2 ways of this. one is, this is gary, who years or 2nd is a walla, is sort of a catch all term for an informal way to move money outside of banking channels. that is

the chinese navy has been growing in leaps and bounds and has become the favoured child of the armed d army, and the chinese air force has made its presence felt above the skies of taiwan ever since last summer when us speaker nancy pelosi visited the island. so plenty of activity and turmoil already fundamentally solved even though things have been quieter in the last few weeks. what is your analysis of the fact that these world leaders have been very clear this deal is all about countering the threat of china in the indo—pacific? i think while that is true another message is not being stated, this is a way of locking the us into defence of the region for decades. everyone including the chinese and western allies are wondering who will be us president in 2024, if it were notjoe biden but not committed to international alliances, more of an isolationist, they might be able to pull back the western presence, american presence, in the pacific. by locking in the aukus deal and similar it makes it much harder for an american president with different views to change their mind. in the uk t

as these ships are, the most likely adversary of the taiwanese navy is much stronger than the chinese navyhe world and has 355 ships, including 78 submarines, 50 destroyers and 80 ships, and their third in a row aircraft carrier. as the video is expected to be operational within a few weeks, china is currently rapidly building up its military design capability, according to analysts. beijing will use these ships for the blockade. taiwan before the invasion, in order to cut life on important submarine cables and stop the import of coal and gas, on which this territory depends , the idea of ​​the blockade is to live the fight without resorting to direct invasion. we can push taiwan enough to capitulate or weaken it enough, that the goal is that in the event of an invasion of taiwan , chinese ships would regularly cross the dividing line to be ill-prepared to defend. this means that taiwanese aircrews are on constant alert, and the navy's top leadership hopes that the demonstration of its power will encourage more taiwanese to enlist in the military. well, remember , we talked about the new r

impressive as these ships are, the most likely enemy of the taiwanese navy is much stronger than the chinese navye world and has 355 ships, including 78 submarines, 50 destroyers and 80 tenths of the ships, and their third aircraft carrier. as the video is expected to be operational within a few weeks, china is now rapidly building up its military design capability, according to analysts. beijing will use these ships for the blockade. taiwan before the invasion, to cut life on important submarine cables and stop the import of coal and gas, which depends on this territory. they're probably going to put ships east of the taiwanese and those ships will put up barriers in the kill zone. this will be possible thanks to. this is what their ships are equipped with. and when they capture this airspace - it lies with us the ability to have freedom, maneuver and operate effectively with the help of aviation until until we can hit those ships. so part of the air supremacy will depend on the defeat of these ships, so more new weapons are needed to fight the ships. chinese ships regularly cross the dividing l

navy terrorism, intelligence collector code breaker interrogator, studied russian, chinese, spanish, french, arabic, trained on and used waterboarding, testified before congress that waterboarding is torture. next call scott, pennsylvania, please go ahead. caller: yeah, how are you doing. i would like to say what an honor it is to speak with a true american patriot. i really appreciate you and what you have to say. i would just like to say mr. trump, it's incredible just how extraordinarily dangerous this man really is. i think back to the meeting in he will -- helsinki with mr. putten and how there was nobody in the room two hours except the interpreters. now, nobody knows to this day what was discussed with that despicable -- you can't even call mr. putin a human being. but the connection with mr. trump and russia and the authoritarianism and fascism, i mean, this is really scary stuff. and i would just like your thoughts on the russian connection, the authoritarianism, the fascism, and what we're dealing with here domestically. and like i said, just keep doing what you're doing. i

chinese. the army, the air force, navy, marines they all need upgrades in the things that they specialize in.he military we need them to fight right now. the problem paul i think is no democratic president is ever going to propose the defense spending that's need too many and too much in political base oppose that sort of thing so this is got to be a significant issue in the presidential election for 2024. >> bill on that point do you think that the president feels safe on that point from the criticism from the right because he's -- betting that donald trump will be his opponent and trump wants to, you know, withdraw american presence from significant parts of the world. certainly doesn't want to help ukraine -- usually you would think well he would get krit sphrism right from republicans for not spending enough. >> yeah it is baffling to me because even if you didn't believe in the involvement of our troops overseas you would think that you want to be strong enough so they don't even think of doing bad things. you know, you want it as a deterrent, and as dan pointed out it is a real cotton s
