pacific.— the indo pacific.re in a standoff over his more—than—ao billion dollar deal to buy the social media company. the world's richest man wants to pull out of the deal, claiming he's not received the data he asked for about the number of fake or spam accounts on the platform. but twitter�*s board says it will sue mr musk to enforce the deal. james clayton reports. in april, elon musk seemed excited. he had a $41; billion bid for twitter expert accepted. yes, he exclaimed, on twitter. since then, he has had a very public spat with twitter�*s chief executive. twitter does have a problem with fake accounts, what elon musk wanted to know was how many users, actual people, does twitter have? in a filing to the market regulator, he said the responses he received from twitter were not adequate, that they were in breach of contract, and he was pulling out of the deal. twitter�*s board hit back, saying that elon musk could not pull out of the deal, and the expected the deal to go through. i and the expected the deal

eu and technology trade council, the indo pacific economic framework. unfortunately, perhaps the thing that has catalyzed the great sir mount of partnership -- surmount of partnership has been our reaction to russia. we worked closely with our allies from the start. sharing our intelligence, we were prepared as soon as putin's military started the invasion and we were able to build those partnerships over time, show that what we saw was the reality on the ground. you could build that trust over time. my expect tatian going forward, -- my expect tatian going forward, we see that they under -- expectation going forward, it isn't just the u.s. making opportunities for ourselves, it is making sure that we are doing this, recognizing our friends and alleys are going to be right there with us. frankly, that we understand that we cannot make everything. we cannot do everything in the u.s., it is physically impossible when you look at the supply chain. those things we cannot do here in the u.s. >> you have been active, the administration has launched a whole se

in the indo pacificu agreement? >> because back to what i was saying. we recognize that we are not at the table, if we do not build a framework that works for us, others are going to set the rules of the road. dominate the new world economic order. we need to make sure we are at the table for our businesses appeared as it said before, is not the u.s. doing just for our own interest. it's helping other countries under that helps our businesses and their businesses at the same time. we know there are folks, countries out there who want to dominate those markets. unused economic coercion as a means of doing it. build high standards around sustainability, resiliency, high standards for labor to make sure our workers are playing on a level playing field. and her billing the right standards are of high quality products and projects our businesses can compete. the worst thing of the world as if we let our competitors to win, low-cost, low quality products. low labor standards. in very low environmental practices. dissidents were not able to compete. so we have

a similar thing happened in the indo-pacific. moving around between first second island areas by ship and ashore, constantly inside, constantly making sure that the adversary knew we were there. constantly moving. small elements -- demonstrating that in ourselves -- over and over, constructive ones, over and over again, trying to cut the timeline down -- then, once you get it done, you really comfortable, then start interjecting different communication passes to make it tougher on ourselves. that is what is going on right now. in other words, the idea just given to the operating forces, the fleet, let them run with it. they will inform us about what works in our neighborhood. and i am very comfortable with what is working in the middle east, maybe a little bit different flavor than what is happening in europe, maybe a difference that in the pacific. we need to be flexible enough to allow for that when we can. >> arguably, that is campaigning, that is what we should be doing, creating a feedback loop. >> this isn't an exercise and

that's better than nothing, but it also falls short as to what a lot of indo pacific partners of thethe partnership that the united states walked away from under the trump administration, and are struggling to get back politically. it is politically toxic in washington, dc. we are seeing that the g7 promised a $600 billion over five year infrastructure, and china's potentially and china's potentially spent over $1 trillion, this money from the west has not materialised, so they will be hoping that there is more commitment now from both the united states domestically, as well as its allies and partners in the g7, and the indo pacific. twitter and elon musk are in a standoff over his more—than—sao billion deal to buy the social media company. the world's richest man wants to pull out of the deal, claiming he's not received the data he asked for about the number of fake or spam accounts on the platform. but twitter�*s board says it will sue mr musk to enforce the deal. james clayton reports. in april, elon musk seemed excited. he had a $41; billion bid for twitter accepted. "yes," he ex

he talks about it being theater agnostic, to make sure we can operate in the indo -- , but also have the ability to cross over into the european theater, wherever we're needed, -- the update 2022 refines the testing what you have done to really get that concept down to where it needs to be. can you give us a little bit more insight about that whole concept of lightning at the force. where you are with the testing of this, with marines in the field, figuring this out, and where you are today. i know you've made a number of adjustments with the size of battalions, the number of mv-22sx -- can you tell us about how you have that in the planning guide and how you achieve a national defense strategy? >> sir, great question. you and i have talked before, sir. lightning any force simply -- dynamic component of that -- we are seeing that play out in realtime in ukraine. we have seen wildly dispersed, well equipped, precision, lethal munitions, and the ability to move. let me give you -- we have demonstrated multiple times how we can load n. e. m. e. s. i. s. on the kc-130 -- which can line -

we heard testimony on the adoptions in the indo pacific theater. he said there was necessary -- i appreciate, be telling this committee a few weeks ago that you showed the same feelings we have in the need to ensure we modernize our 22 fleet and increase the platforms overall readiness. in the priority list, nearly $75 million was asked for those -- to continue this vital program in future years. our 22 is not something we can weigh on, it's something we need to get started on now. you note the workforce in amarillo has risen to the occasion of completing the air force process ahead of schedule. there's no doubt this will beat my mind -- the case for you as well. in the recent submission to the committee, when asked do you know any factors that have the potential to hinder execution of additional funds for this item in fy 23, the answer was clearly stated as no. all this leads me to wonder if the amount requested on the unfunded priorities list is enough, or if congress needs to consider even larger amounts to ensure we can dominate any future conf

and i will also say that with the ubiquity of the sensors right now, particularly in the indo-pacific, if you can be seen and you are aware the target, meaning the cost, physician, i'm going to expend an expensive weapons system, you can be hit. and that is -- we are getting after signature management and always. and it's kind of back to the future a little bit. we are doing camo netting, we now have companies that we were on contract with that have nothing that goes over vehicles, as well as people who reduce ir signatures, eliminate visual, it's -- it's advance as well. the wider, the better -- the lighter means less sustainment, which means and reducing the signature. did they get after, it sir? that's a big question i can go on all day. >> that's spot on. let me ask to look at today's situation, and that is how you are looking at late cleaning the force. one of the -- with munitions that are going out the door, both javelin and sting rays, we've heard it. we understand what needs to be done with the industrial base to resupply those sorts of things. but i think the more important

but in the 20th century war raged in indo china for nearly 30 years. of the cambodian civil war led to a genocides now world famous for its killing field. when journalists arrived to cover the conflict, they stayed at this imposing old hotel. i was posted to cambodia to the capital city, non penn in the beginning of may 1972 and i stayed in the hotel royal, which later became was renamed. the hotel cannot buy the new government. i hotel, look, know me, became a media hub, but it was also home from home for a host of reporters, photographers, camera, men, and local fix and big hotel, colonial style, french ho, wonderful brand, new style building with a beautiful garden in the back with a swimming pool, high ceilinged, all the antique, and it was service a great place to relax it when one to come back from the front lines of cambodia when, when we already got going on, john swain came, jumping on pen to cover the civil war. but you understand cambodia, then you have to look back to its independence from france in 1953 soon after independence war broke ou

countering china's influence in the indo-pacific and beyond, u.s. leadership international stage has proven critical capitalizing our partners consequences. i have yet to see us take the same effective approach on africa. it's hard to comprehend how the youngest fastest growing continent in the world, a region that contains 50% and vast array of minerals and other natural resources failed to garner a clear comprehensive engagement strategy. it is clear that africa status nation and people is not the basket case many narratives portrayed to be. the continent does face challenges that must be met with strong unified international support. priorities developed across the country with support of our partners around the world include combating climate change, diversifying energy resources, stimulating economic growth and improving public health outcome. in the face of democratic backsliding, we have a collective responsibility from good governance and protect human rights. i've heard this from our african counterparts time and time again. they want to pa

they tried to do with the indo pacific and other areas.s is coming from the strategy and then trying to say how do we support them to do this? we have so many opportunities on the continent now. the african continental suite one.4 billion for us companies. that has not yet been taken advantage of. on top of that strategy to put this in place and in the manufacturing sector to add value to export the continent and also i know that was considered action to the world within the next decade to come together with the us on some of these actions. can i just mention one last thing? one glaring opportunity is a move by the us to look at secure trade and to build resilience of supply chain to get supply chains away from east asia and china. one very important way to do that is to bring the supply chain to africa. and to do the manufacturing sector. so this is an opening now. and that perception of risk of investment by american companies is way beyond what the real risk is. so we need to find ways to invest. so building on 2063. >> thank you for th

as regards the indo pacific region, we should insulate this region from geopolitical calculations and the trap of the law of the jungle from being used as chess pieces in major power rivalry and from coercion. well, it comes amid rising tensions between beijing and washington in the indo pacific area, with the u. s. exerting press on the 10 asi on countries. meanwhile, american secretary of state anthony blinking isaac hughes, rochelle, dripping a world where big nations can bully small nations, citing the russia ukraine conflict, but many of called oddly, quote, hypocritical nature of such a statement coming from a top u. s. official. if russia is allowed to do what it's doing, that means that we're going to go back to a world in which might makes right in which big nations can bully small nations. that's the opposite of the rules based order. for a former indian foreign secretary can. busy with sybil told r t that blinking words have raised more than a few eyebrows since the u. s. itself has a long record of mistreating smaller nations. but i'm a bit surprised that he should be sayi

as vice president of the united states -- around the world -- increasingly coercive actions in the indo-pacific and russia's war against ukraine -- here in the middle east also seeing critical changes. for the first time since 9/11, an american president has visited this region without american troops being engaged in combat in the region. we will always honor the bravery and selflessness and sacrifices of the americans who served, including my son, major beau biden, who was stationed in iraq for years. we will never forget the memory of the 7054 troops who made the ultimate sacrifice all serving in iraq and elsewhere over the last two decades. i am proud to say the era of wars in the region involving huge numbers of american forces is not underway. we maintain both the capacity and the termination to suppress -- the determination to suppress the terrorist threat wherever we find it. we demonstrated that this year, just this week taking out another key leader of isis. we will continue our counterterrorism efforts working with a broad coalition of countries, including everyone around this table.

as regards the indo pacific region, we should insulate this region from geo political calculations and the trap of the law of the jungle from being used as chess pieces and major power rivalry and from coercion. when it comes amid rising tensions between pacing and washington and the indo pacific region, with the u. s. exerting pressure on the tennessee and countries. meanwhile, us secretary of state, anthony blink, and as now chosen to accuse russia of creating a world where a big nation can volley small nation fighting, the rushing cream conflict if russia is allowed to do what it's doing, that means that we're going to go back to a world in which might makes right in which big nations can bully small nations. that's the opposite of the rules based order. a former indian foreign secretary can walsall ball told us earlier than the blinking words raised more than a few eyebrows since the us itself has a long record of mistreating smaller nations. but i'm a bit surprised that he should be saying this, knowing that that's when the world thinks that the united states had been willing smal

as you noted up front, he refer to it as his free and open i indo-pacific strategy, this is languagetates has since begun to adopt. >> yeah, he was ahead of the curve as you say at a time when you still had u.s. officials of both parties frankly saying that engagement is -- engagement is the way forward with china and recognized the threat and changed policy as a result. christopher johnston, we appreciate you sharing your experience here on truly shopping news out of japan. >> thank you, jim. i appreciate the opportunity. >>> still ahead, an encouraging jobs report, this morning recession fears, though loom large. our next guest challenging the administration to do more. we'll speak with congressman ro khanna next. e who believes in dg anything it takes to make dentistry work for your life. so we offer a complete exam and x-rays free to new patients without insurance - everydyda. plus, patients get 20% off their treatment plan. we're on your corner andd in your corner evevery step of the way. because your anything is our everything. aspen dental. anything to make you smile. book tod

. >> i think -- couple of things i'd say quickly, we all talk about a free and open indo-pacific, that's his construct. we're operating within the strategic outlook and architecture that he designed. the quad, and the notion that india, the united states, japan and australia would all work together as a team and two presidents of two parties operate with that as its their own. at every level, those three things, economics, national security, the alliance, the construct of a theme called the free and open indo-pacific, he's the original author of, so he's been a force that as i said not only ahead of his time, now time is catching up to him. the second thing i would say to george, their idealistic to know what they're doing and they're tough enough to get it done. that describes abe. he was a visionary who had a vision and sense of where he was going, where he wanted to take japan and where he wanted to take the region. and then he was ruthless enough, tough enough and strategic enough to see it and execute it through and in many ways everything we're dealing with today and still working

initiatives of economic tcsecurity alliances you have the required and all the stuff going on in the indoic but a lot of the questions that we get frequently that none of these are trade agreements. do they make a difference? >> you are right none of these are traditional market access arrangements. these are things we cannot do right now given the state of politics. what we're doing is building a new set of tools and mechanisms to allow less to build partnerships and alliances that will work to our mutual benefit. we are creating opportunities to build up standards in a range of different ways around climate resiliency and sustainability and label practices and worker rights , high standards on the quality of products and projects. if we can get our partners and allies to agree, then it makes our businesses much more competitive makes it more easier for american workers to succeed. if we don't do this then they will make the international rules of the road and we cannot allow that to happen have to make sure we are engaging insa these conversations i think about what we're doing and focu

yeah, and it comes amid rising tensions between beijing and washington in the indo pacific, with the u. s. exerting pressure on the 10 us see on countries when all american secretary of state, anthony blink, and i thought chosen to accuse rush of creating a world where big nations can bully small nations fighting the russia ukraine conflict. but many of called the quote, hypocritical nature of that statement, coming from a top u. s. sufficient if russia is allowed to do what it's doing, that means that we're going to go back to a world in which might makes right in which big nations can bully small nations. that's the opposite of the rules based order. while speaking to r t earlier, a former indian foreign secretary can wall said bob believes that blink ins, words raise more than a few eyebrow since the u. s. a itself has a long record of mistreating, smaller nations. but i'm a bit surprised that he should be saying this. knowing that, that's when the world thinks that the united states had been willing small nations for decades in latin america, where they id or the ban him are cuba

we have been seeing the chinese increase their level of agg aggressiveness in the indo-pacific regionn increase in their bellicose rhetoric with respect to taiwan, and to other false territorial and maritime claims in the indo-pacific. i would tell you again, nothing has changed about our one china policy and nothing changed about the fact that we're going to continue to fly, sail and operate with international law and international waters permit us to do that. >> you say they have increased their activity. general mark milley agrees with you. inside this article he's quoted as saying the u.s. military is seeing significantly more and noticeably more aggressive chinese military action, like what? >> i think you would see it for yourself, and cnn's covered this, some of the intercepts, unsafe and unprofoeessional intercepts on the air and the sea. they're continuing militarization of man made islands in the indo-pacific region in the south china sea, east china sea. they have obviously been much more assertive in trying to perpetuate these false territorial claims throughout the region

the united states and korea share a common goal of a free and open indo pacific. but achieving it will take resolute action. the biden administration has not and will not shy away from that responsibility. the united states and our allies, like korea, work together to continue to demand strong adherence to norms and values that have underpinned the international economic order. we will impose harsh consequences on those countries that abuse or break the order, as we have demonstrated with our unprecedented response to russia's aggression. we will work with allies and partners through the indo pacific economic freemark to lower costs by making our supply chains more resilient in the long term. to conclude, i want to thank you for the opportunity to see important and innovative work you do here at lg science park. i want to thank the workers and researchers here and in the united states for deepening -- yvonne: really signaling out what seems like beijing officials on how the market positions in key raw materials, technologies, this whole concept of french shoring -

responsibility when they say they care about the pacific not such a term was specially invented by the indo-pacific but in order to try to lure india in its network. and nato should be responsible for security in this part of the world, in other words. they do not even hide it, especially the next line of defense of this defensive alliance will lie in the south china sea, because china has already been identified in the final documents. this summit in madrid , which ended the other day, is the main systemic long-term challenge. french self-propelled it’s time to rename the caesar artillery mounts , russian ambassador to france alexei meshkov said on the air of our tv channel. he suggested calling them neurons after the roman emperor, who is remembered in history for his despotism and exorbitant cruelty. uh, already far advanced towards the delivery of immersion, to which we repeatedly, uh, turned ours to me, but to our french colleagues. well, you know, uh, hmm, the thesis that they promote, uh, these programs of theirs are the protection of, uh, the civilian population, as they say. o, actually, i

important link was very much part of his strategy to bring it into the geopolitical balance in the indoa is not able to dominate the region, which as he saw what would be destabilising. find what would be destabilising. and what would be destabilising. and what is interesting is that even though he had left office, he was still very influential, i gather, on the current japanese government. but looking back, he was a statesman over such a long period. he seems to have been around for many years as prime minister. he was on the global stage and all those kind of global summits, he was always there for many years. summits, he was always there for many years-— many years. yes, i mean he had advantages _ many years. yes, i mean he had advantages of _ many years. yes, i mean he had advantages of people _ many years. yes, i mean he had advantages of people who - many years. yes, i mean he had - advantages of people who remained in office for a long time do of experience. he set it off as prime minister in 2006—2007 and his first as prime minister, his government was rocked by scandals and he w

during the indo china war against the french. they were crafted from ambushed military truck tires. to day they're made in a variety of styles to appeal to a much wider audience. oh, good with that my the mama, i want to rubber sandals to become part of our heritage. wanted to be there one of the unique products of vietnam. i bought it and foreigners will mention them. when they're visiting our country, they got a who, the devil. the sandals were popularized by former revolutionary leader, ho, she min and by viet cong soldiers. during the vietnam war they became a symbol of the communist states resourcefulness. during war time. now during peacetime, they've come to represent sustainable design and reducing one's carbon footprint. for juan load up, we'll go with those epa. i myself prefer handmade sandals, those out because they're cheaper lamb when they bucks out with what we can use old tires to make the rubber sandals for cool with the body. of course that we can just as easily make rubber sandals from new rubber them. but then we'll to price out a much higher than that. that's at

if you are indo nascar, there's at least as 6 people who died, 30 people went missing after a 5 story building got shelves. so this is an everyday reality for people and an ascii, bernice a indeed, a russia has gone into as sort of a, you know, over a pause to regroup or in the offensive. it's to continuously shells, eastern ukraine, southern ukraine. so norris, by day, especially for civilians, the west has promised to send more high precision weapons, but is keep worried about how long international part are partners will continue to send those weapons. after all, most analysts are predicting a protracted conflict. well indeed, michaela so and not least, because the weapons that have been promised so far, it hasn't all been haven't all been delivered. and when we look at the ratio, well, ukraine is already, you know, at a disadvantage in front of russia. it's like a day for each 10 rush on weapons. ukraine has one weapon on top of dots, all of dots. what has been prominence, hasn't been deleted yet, and we see that it's losing its momentum as well. over to past the last a few weeks.

can focus more on the indo pacific. this is something europeans will find difficult.hashem: i have a few other issues to discuss. andrew, are we likely to see more action as far as the self -- south china seas are concerned? andrew: we can see the united states is now writing high on the ability to rally. nato has been reenergized. but right in high-end that -- riding high on that, there is talk of the g 12. there was also this pacific infrastructure initiative. we can see that both china and russia are starting to push back. in addition to the sink i partners, we could see a growing divide between the west developed countries and the developing world. the development world is going to account for 60% of the world's economic future. hashem: do you see potential for reconciliation between nato and russia? vladimir: yes, despite all of the horrible situation. i think there are some crucial points of mutual interest. this is international terrorism. hashem: as nato and europe ready for scaling up military force? and great defense expenditure? theresa: president mccrone s
