research foundation talk about well in djibouti rejuvenation technology for the show so some are saying. silver tsunami of aging people is set to hit the global economy by 20 safety do you see any major rejuvenation solutions available by that time. i will go further i would say that absolutely this rejuvenation by technology is the only way that we are going to keep the ageing of the population from completely crippling the global economy already we're in a hugely problematic situation of course the difficulty is that the reason why we have so many people who are. elderly now is because number one we are preventing them from dying young because we're really good now at curing infectious diseases and so on but also because they thought the types of thing that people get sick from later in life they are slowly progressive chronic problem so people don't die out once the way they do from typical infections they will continue to go gradually sicker and sicker and sicker and more and more expensive over time and so if everyone is doing that then of course the economic button is absolutely a

communities this is unacceptable i believe that now more than ever before we must unite from each child to djibouti. to mine we must be collective action technology to help provide us with the unique opportunity to document voices to be fighting with importantly to learn from each other and bring about a solution. it's about survival. on your journey around the sahara region you met many people and you told many stories about survival tell us one that really stood out for you. well i i have. i have the chance to meet my friend in nigeria and i absolutely agree with what he's saying it's a matter of survival i went to nigeria i met with the annex boko haram fighter and a young lady who was abducted when she was 13 and married to a book of how to fight her and their stories were incredible and strongly tied to the change in climate because the those regions are so vulnerable because they survive on the lake chad that is that has trunk from 100 percent i think the like trade now has shrunk by 90 percent. since 50 years so it's it's terrible to see those communities going through such hardships because

actually the great green wall is most like the community project from senegal to djibouti so it's really from west africa and the idea is to bring communities together and help them restart degraded in length and to help with the scarcity of resources and help combat this notification i want to bring in our offices because elvis it is your job to oversee this mammoth project it is epic in size how well is it know though across the african continent. currently from here. it's not on its. it's very well. researched. it decodes on. the shirt and. we're pretty confident that it's been gone. through a concerted effort of. the number of troops the african union on its development partners the u.n. to see to go bomb a commission. that you're counting on the u.n. agencies that we continuously work very mature now. with your people in the development of one who said i don't. think. that that's the time i look in the development of course you know about in the development well let me just bring him with us on the into this conversation but i'm wondering about everything after king live beyond that

so we'll hold djibouti at risk. they're not going to be distracted from what they consider their core interests. the competition really does have to stay local. for me, the near-peer competitor, two more things i'll say, does deterrence hold? and maybe globally, one thing we have to think about is whether united states is a security partner of choice. as china is building relationships with countries in africa and central asia, they're becoming a more popular security partner of choice. and the u.s. strategy has been get the most strategic countries to be on our side. as the chinese would complain, we got first dibs on allies and we got the best ones. but in this world, numbers matter. and so even if we have four or five countries who are on our side about a certain issue in the u.n., if 150 of them are on china's side, then we lose. i think we also have to think about the weakest links that china exploits and we have to build up our numbers to be the security partner of choice beyond just our immediate allies. >> t

i think there's a destroyer in the south and there's japanese surveillance aircraft eight out of djibouti in support of that mission so japan does have assets inthe region . would japan apply those assets? no. and there's two reasons i think that. with a newsurveillance ? perhaps. with that combined task force care data? perhaps that would japan send it maritime self-defense force confronts the iranian or whoever ships, probably not in the reason i say that is twofold. the ships that were attacked, the people have been rescued so there are no people anymore on burning ships so that would be the primary concern i think of prime minister abe and the cabinet, those people have been rescued. there were not japanese nationals to my understanding . what i think is harder is what does this mean for the mission that prime minister abe went on which is to help reduce tensions, to offer his services as potentially a mediator between iran and the trump administrationin the united states . i suspect that secretary of state pompeo scone comment has suggested tensions will go up between washington and

military presence in africa which is primarily expanded through their first and only military base in djibouti. they also sell a lot of military equipment, drones and other surveillance equipment to africa. i think this is an area to be watched chinese military exports abroad. also, future developments in china and the pacific islands and the arctic deserve to be watched, but right now, especially in the arctic, the focus to be mainly on energy, and china is increasing their corporation, military cooperation with the european nations, but, again, most of this is more for the image of improved relationships. the area think that is most concerning to people when you look at security developments is the china-russia relationship and there's been a number of notable trends in this space that have been greatly covered in my testimony and other venures. it's true that china increased exercises, arm sales and diplomatic platitudes when it comes it their relationship with russia. i think this is not sufficient to suggest they are moving away from a relationship of convenience, and there are a number o

increased military presence in africa which expanded through the first and only military base in djibouti and they sell a lot of military equipment, drones and other surveillance to africa. i think this is an area to be watched abroad. also future development in china and the pacific islands and the arctic deserve to be watched but right now especially in the arctic the focus is mainly on energy. the chinese increasing military cooperation with european nations but most of this is more for the image of improved relationships. the area that is most concerning to people when you look at security developments is the china russia relationship. there have been some trends in this space which were covered in my testimony and other venues. it is true the china has increased exercises at diplomatic platitudes when it comes to their relationship with russia. this is not sufficient to suggest they are moving away from a relationship of convenience and there are a number of obstacles over time. specifically china sees russia as a liability and is interested in a more legitimate eat grwer. china, rus
