let's he approach the pacific on form is taking and that is why pacific for munity is so important. those crows that away in hay, who joins us from fiji capital, super crew boss, is pulled out of the form. why yes, will this a meeting all the pacific islands form as seen as the paps? the most important one and a very long time. partly because it's the 1st time that the leaders have been able to come together face to face to meet in 3 years. because of the curve at 19 pandemic. and also it's crucial because of all those g geopolitical tensions that are ongoing at the moment. and then we have kid abbas and their decision to withdraw seemingly at the last minute. but this is a problem that's been going on for a long time. in fact, we go back to the beginning of last year when the 5 micronesia countries that are members of the pacific islands form including kit abbas signal that they were going to leave at this pacific islands. grouping for a couple of reasons. but mainly because they were unhappy with that election process that took place to find a new secretary general of the pacific

the pacific fleet has been recognized as the best in combat training in the russian navy for 5 years in a row improve professional skills and combat skills. the pacific fleet retains its high combat potential and provides russia with the status of a great maritime power. marshal shaposhnikov has recently undergone a deep modernization. now he is the most modern stuffing with a new communication radio engineering service, and armed with high- precision cruise missiles caliber in june, the frigate returned after exercises in the sea of ​​okhotsk, where the crew practiced training to destroy surface ships of mock enemy aircraft, as well as escorted a train of enemy submarines. and after the solemn part, when the commander’s boat leaves the frigate, an artillery salute is heard from the side? vladivostok the city was founded by military sailors, so its residents especially love navy day. the professional holiday of white uniforms and black berets is met by families. we are proud of the fleet for our great russian fleet, we are proud that we served there, it was already 27 years ago and s

over the years china and the pacific islands for him have enjoyed good cooperative relations. what i want to stress is that china has never interfered in the internal affairs of the pacific island countries. but the struggle for influence is likely to remain at or near the top of the agenda throughout this forum. but away from the meetings, there's little or no interest in the big names who have come to town. fijians are dealing with the reality of a will changing around them and what it might look like for generations to come. wayne, hey, al jazeera, suva. ah, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories. the un security council passed a resolution to extend a deliveries to the last rebel held area in northwestern syria for 6 months. permission for cross border shipments from turkey expired on monday after russia vetoed an attempt to renew the man.

so what's good news for exports from china is also positive for other countries in asia pacific. all right. raja is was with s and p global market intelligence. thank you very much. thank you. rising prices are cutting into worker paychecks. it's not a surprise then that labor unions want to account for inflation in new contract negotiations. leaders in germany would like to avoid a wave of such wage hikes. that's why they met with union and industry leaders on monday. it's the perfect economic storm vegetables and grains a 10 percent more expensive. the price of petrol at the pump is up 50 percent. the cost of gas and electricity is more than tripled within a year. the average german consumer is feeling the pinch with many having to cut costs the look on the sun. i'm already aware of that because i'm on maternity leave right now and on a limited budget, we need to cut back more and spend more carefully without leaving the light, we'll get through it somehow. people have survived inflation before it will all work out. the helpers of this will, i hope that it'll come back down on

the first celebrations have already taken place in the far east and took place on the shelf of the pacific fleet ships in vladivostok and also in petropavlovsk-kamchatsky, as our correspondent sergei in the main base of the pacific fleet saw, he set the holiday crew of the frigate. marshal shaposhnikov this year for the first time the ship had the honor of heading the sea parade in vladivostok fleet flagship missile cruiser. valyak. now it is in the mediterranean sea, and then the council will be the first to raise the st. andrew's flag and the flags of the guards. following the frigate marfa shaposhnikov or the vatorny ship, a rocket boat was handed over to a comrade in service, a base minesweeper and a submarine from the bolsheretskaya line of parade formation stretched along golden rock bay for almost a kilometer, an ideal view is available from almost anywhere on the coast of the closest distance of the participants of the festive a detachment of ships was observed by the commander of the pacific fleet, admiral sergei oceans, on board a speedboat. he went around the entire front line a

the pacific coast of russia compared to central russia, few people live here. maybe that's why nature has been preserved here in its original form. young marten harza rejoices at the first snow that fell at night, harza, a very peculiar representative of the weasel family, this tropical species comes from southeast asia. the bright color of the marten distinguishes it from all other animals of this region. in primorye, harza settles in dense mixed forests on mountain slopes, usually far from human settlements. soon taiga will wake up and it will be impossible to recognize her. the largest river in the far east, its basin covers a vast territory of almost 2 million square kilometers and is located on the territory of the three states of russia , china and mongolia. now the amur delta is still tightly blocks the drifting ice of the sea of ​​okhotsk. and this giant refrigerator does not let spring into primorsky krai. in winter, it is impossible to believe that the far east is one of the richest regions of russia in terms of the diversity of animal and plant speci

so that signalling and asia pacific momentum is still quite positive on that topic. today, markets in asia, up on this, the increase possibility that you as president biden may set aside some chinese tariffs to lower the prices of certain u. s. consumer goods. how important would that be for both markets and of course, for the businesses in that region. i think of when we look at from the u. s. point of view, of course, they're confronted with very high inflation, the highest and many decades. so i think the biden administration is considering rolling back some of the trump ero tariffs and letting them expire. i'm quite a number of these terrorists are due to expire, either this month or in the next couple of months. so that would be an opportunity to reduce tariffs on chinese consumer goods. iowa. i have 2 areas and that would help to reduce or at least marginally inflationary pressures in the u. ross. and of course for china that would be good news in terms of boosting their exports as well. and it does have positive implications for other countries in asia, becaus

cook took control of fundraising for the northern pacific and 1870. from the start, it was really a disaster. railroads were and our volatile investments. nobody wanted a piece of it. the u.s. or in europe. koch was determined. he was obstinance. he thought that with enough advertising and promotion, the northern pacific could build its track and be a success. he saw hayden's yellowstone expedition and the nationals park at that yellowstone became as a boom to his project. he was wrong about that. he did not anticipate that another figure of the period would be working against him in the region. this is just, sorry, i should've gone to the slide. these are two examples of the way that koch was using advertising and newspapers to really gin up some enthusiasm and bond sales for the northern pacific in 1871. the man standing in his way was tatanka iyotake, sitting, the hunkpapha lakota chief. born in 1830s along the upper missouri river to a family of war chiefs and community leaders. sitting bull was a member of the hunkpapha band of the lakota who are

the militarization of the pacific is not an interest in the world's interest. well, it did seem like quite general suggestions. let's put it that way from china. do you think the main sticking point was the 3rd proposal not to control or be controlled by a 3rd party. choosing a thinly veiled disguise, hinting as possible, other arrange like or cuz for example, well just being quite since hosted as seduced. look, we're not controlled by anybody else by should straighten. can we please have normal relations between countries which they used to her until there's new offensive by the noted states and later across the world. not against russia, but now it's extended off the madrid go before madrid, actually later conference to the pacific and 1st radio. but since got a very high level military expenditure under the pressure of the knotted states, just to be part of this overall plan. so it's, it's a very dangerous escalation and history. and it's government just to let the new zealand government playing dangerous game and playing with the lives for printed their own
