on saturday, lloyd austin is expected to talk about us security issues in indo—pacific.t china's new security initiatives. the relationship between the two countries is in a precarious spot. however, presidentjoe biden has predicted that there may be a thaw in the tension with beijing. at the g7 summit two weeks ago, members had decided to change their wording from decoupling to de—risking when they talk about china. trade ministers met one on one when they met in the united states last week. this was after months of no conversations taking place on a high level after the downing of a chinese surveillance balloon in the united states. if tensions continue to thaw, there is hope the two leaders may meet if they attend the 620 summit in india or the apec summit in san francisco in november. we can now speak to richard betts who is a senior fellow for national security studies at the council on foreign relations. thank you forjoining us. lloyd austin is making another trip to asia — are we seeing a growing importance of asia to washington? that importance has been growing f

lloyd austin and the defense secretary about what happened last weekend. the wagner coupe or mutiny if you will is definitely a topic now and it will be a topic at the nato summit and another point here for sure is that the americans want to keep tabs on germany and other eu countries to fulfill their promise to dedicate 2% of their gdp into military and defense budgets. nicole: these things are never just smooth sailing are they, if -- besides the defense budget what else needs to be resolved? >> i think it is going to be a little bit about the f-60, the fighter jet debate, -- f 16, the fighter jet debate, and the role of journey. germany says now or rather the secretary said now that germany is the second-largest donator or a provider for ukraine, and that includes what is expected of germany and is committed by germany to pay and help in future. the united states will again keep tabs on germany that they do their fair share. then it is about keeping the train of communication on track, which means prevent russia from using any comment or communication u

number, lloyd austin, the meeting comes before the next nato summit. in lithuania, the us and jeremy are ukraine's to main weapon suppliers. of the story is reiterated germany support for ukraine and other eastern european states to do everything which is possible. as long as it takes to support your claim that really are of them or against professional. and that we used to be the eastern flag. and nowadays, the baltic on the baltic states, the other countries often you eastern flanks, so we have a special and special responsibility for the protection of the eastern flag to the fore. i'm sitting here therefore i was sitting in judy c. therefore, we all together work for support of ukraine and for the security on the eastern eastern european countries. the w for a spot in stefan simons joins me from washington, and has more stuff on the stories in austin shortly have lots to talk about with them. their agenda, i saw plenty. so that's the inaugural visit of mr. victoria c. in the united states. he had to cancel the one he had actually all really original

now on what we heard the from us defense secretary lloyd austin and the joint chiefs chase. it's dr. norma. milly, what's bringing out corresponding? terry schultz followed that press conference from nice to headquarters. terry, what stood out to you from what's been said the i think one of the big themes for today was air defense. there's a new agreement being signed on providing more air defense to ukraine. and of course, we see every day and every night, this relentless assault by russia on civilians in ukraine, on the civilian infrastructure. and on the supplies of weapons. these very expensive, valuable weapons that are being sent by allies all the time, easily destroyed by russia from the air. so this is really crucial to ukraine, to save lives, and to save the equipment they need to keep fighting. and now we've heard from, from secretary austin that there will be more emphasis on air defense and will also be hearing more about that as nato goes into its defense ministers meeting. this is some of the things that they're going to talk about. what kind of of missiles can

earlier i asked the w, washington correspondent mattress, we spend what exactly, lloyd austin and bars the story as a working through to prepare for that. well jared, so this was a defense minister of his story as a 1st visit to the united states of the defense minister. and so he was here to shake hands to meet on board austin and also j sullivan. as he said in the somebody that we've heard there, and quite obviously they spoke about the let me in russia that unfolded over the weekend. they spoke about the word developments in ukraine. and one important issue to highlight is that they also spoke about the succession of natal tv in stoughton berg who was set to leave his post scheduled in the next couple of days. but it's now set to maybe extend his stay because the member countries of nato are not able to find a good other successor. so the stories that highlights talking to press that he would favor keeping him on if no alternative can be found. and so it looks on the agenda to talk about run us through nato. some of the more contentious points that the minutes is one to resolve of t

but a bose installed back and lloyd austin said today that there are confidence that there will be an agreement by o l. i is because of course, facing this very difficult and change geo political situation. russia's war and ukraine, more and more allies understand that they need to spend more, that there is the needs to have those 2 percent as a floor, not a ceiling. germany, for instance, a, a will hit the targets next year and in 2025. however, only due to the special funding that they will invest on a.

and he said, all those lloyd austin speech was very much what safe expected to hear. they also disputed the us as characterization of his presence in the region as a stabilizing presence in china. instead said that what the us is doing is in citing instability in the region. now this back and forth is something that we're seeing happening over the last few days. but really what it does is also highlights just how divergent views are and just how difficult it would be in sort of bridging the gap between these 2 very different views. you as president joe biden is gonna assign legislation suspending the debt ceiling later on saturday, addressing the nation. he praised congress for approving the daily, says, democrats and republicans compromise to help avoid an economic catastrophe. so how many times he's got more from washington dc. this address to the nation was an opportunity for joe biden to remind the country of brands biting as the new presidential cycle gets underway. it was an echo very much of his message during the last presidential election. i'm bringing the co

well, for the chinese, hours after lloyd austin - there.hinese, i hours after lloyd austin spoke, they had lashed out at that, saying you need to respect their point of view, which is that it their point of view, which is thatitis their point of view, which is that it is a one china policy, and that is they see that as a part of their sovereign territory. the us sees it as a democratically run island but they still tread very, very carefully, because for years the us has said that they respect that one china policy. but really this has become a very tense place. you have to remember that the us has invested heavily there, the semiconductor industry is crucial, as we have been able to see with supply chain disruptions, and on a trade front, a lot of the war is taking place with who gets these ai chips that we are seeing developed at rapid pace, so that is one area for example that has actually caused a tremendous amount of tension with tariffs and sanctions as such. but the region here is completely on edge. if you are in the us and china, y

and he said, oh those lloyd austin speech was very much what fav expected to. yes, they also disputed the us as characterization of his presence in the region as a stabilizing presence in china instead said that what the us is doing is in citing instability in the region. now he also disagreed with us, saying china doesn't want to talk instead too late, the blame, squarely back on the us. now this back and forth is something that we're seeing happening over the last few days. but really what it does is also highlight just how divergent views are and just how difficult it would be in sort of bridging the gap between these 2 very different views farms. thank you very much. indeed. phones that are you talking to us from not showing a lot of dialogue and syria for more than 40000 firearms and 2000000 runs. if i munitions behind it in as part of a gun on the street in serbia, and it follows to mass shootings last month that killed at least 18 people on prompted large scale process bonnet. smith's reports from belgrade on. so it'd be as version of big brother a daily
