we are looking at opportunities in the pacific. we have a plan that is closely knitted with indo pay, commands vision for future posturing in the pacific that would include this statement as well. that dimension would be an important aspect of it. as china continues to be a more capable force the timeline for moving potentially across the taiwan straight becomes shorter and shorter in terms of tactical warning. the ford force of the navy and marine corps are in a position -- forward force of the navy and marine corps are in a position to respond. if we can keep forces warm -- home ported puts us in a better position to respond fast. brent: from the online audience. >> following up on the arctic, what about the american arctic and the u.s. code -- coast guard? how does the navy coast guard interaction play in the area? michael: we are highly reliant on the coast guard as a partner. they put their five most capable cutters in the western pacific. a few months ago they did a big commissioning ceremony of three ship in guam simultaneou

it's used in the pacific, too.but but often as as a truck, if you will, rather than as an assault vehicle, it didn't have. the defensive capabilities that a lot of the amtrak's possessed. um yes. strict so how in it maybe maybe maybe not easy. what was the process like if say they needed to switch contractors so i know say for instance in world war one when when colt was asked to provide to provide weapons and they ended up for a significant period of time not producing anything. so they had to find other methods. was the process still the same? how would they go about doing that if a contractor did not provide? well and this is a constant, an ever growing problem that that as best as you could some of these companies couldn't provide what they what they pledged to what they arranged to buy contract the way that the navy accommodated that possibility was by securing basically about a half a dozen prime contractors that could potentially improve or enlarge their production should another fall short. and in in in tru

and the 2nd was that if need to, could have a rule in the asia pacific. there were also looking at doc, no, what has happened during these ukrainian special military operations is i believe their credibility has gone down tremendously. why it has gone down is because the us, they were supposed to deter russia. and they got detoured by russia. when president bush then said that if any fly zones is created, that you see doc means, it will not be tolerated on if any, a crock with arms and ammunition takes off from any place, and comes into the ukrainian territory. i will take it that that country's part of the war. so little has done nothing. so these smaller countries in the isha pacific, which honestly do not want militarization, they do not want. you can ask the us young people as he and states. nobody wants miller tradition, but the americans were hell bent. in fact, in june of 2021 needle in the conference was suggesting that they should have a larger role in the asia pacific. so i think now there will be lot of pressure pushback from the asi on states

the 2nd architecture is the in the pacific architecture, which is america lift. it is led by the americans. not there's a big difference between the 2. and the big difference is that the 1000000000 load initiative it is structured at all defy me use once in days. it is about shared prosperity and cooperative security. i mean, it's a subject doctors liggett, of course, because energy we can actually narrow it down to one similar assist. the other thing, whether there is one beneficiary of all the world or whether they can be meaning grace at deriving the benefit from living together on this plan, right. so now coming to the american thing, america does not have any answer to the beta loading initiative. a medical always ting, symptoms of deterrence, and the corner school of deterrence is defense. not to day. the american military are fees that they are not really up to the levels. and therefore, under the by did administration a new concept periods award. instead of calling it deductions, now they call it integrated it others, which basically means that the allies

now it's a kind of leadership that the pacific has been calling for it. every single opportunity market to engage in finance is also come up with a the precise amount of money that's required, a $100.00 and some j. a 1000000 by 2030 and, and thus that's groundbreaking as well. because a criticism of the rich countries has been that of the less wealthy countries have not been able to declare about what they require. he said, not think that that's actually, you know, in the easy way act to set to make that the argument at the developed i, you know, the developed world hasn't delivered on the $100000000000.00 per year that was committed. it's commit, certainly 2020. and now you see 11 two's costs and they're not just develop the plane if costs are displayed and that's significant because that will show that the commitments fall way below what is necessary. and that's just one country. oh, this has taken, it wasn't something the government developed over like it's taken a lot of an assessment. it's taken a lot of consultation it. hence it can, it's miss docum

hello to welcome to was a part of the idea of creating a clone of leader around the pacific ocean has been tantalizing the minds of western strategist ever since washington announces intention to give it to asia. but it never quite came to fruition, in part because of india hesitancy isn't going to be more likely now after the conflict in your crane. well, to discuss it are now joined by driving. stephanie, a former engine army officer and the editor of the force news magazine is great to talk to you, sir. thank you very much for your time. thank you. now ukraine is half a world away, but i was personally surprised by how much attention is paid to this subject in the indian media. and frankly, by the level of the depth of analysis. because this is quite something, something different than what we see in the western media. i mean, not supporting russia, but understanding the context and all the antecedent, strategic and security antecedents. how come the indian seems to be more knowledgeable on this topic than many of the future opinions who are much closer to the actual place of confl

the 2nd architecture is the endo pacific architecture, which is a medical lift. it is led by the americans not there's a big difference between the 2. and the big difference is that the 1000000000 load initiative it is structured out if i may use once and days, it is about shared prosperity and cooperative security. i mean, it's a subject duct as big enough to discuss energy. we can actually narrow it down to one symbol assist the other thing, whether there is one beneficiary of all the world, or whether they can be meaning grace at deriving the benefit from living together on this bread, right. so now coming to the american teen america does not have any answer to the bay to lord initiative. a medical always ting, symptoms of deterrence. and the corner school of the dungeons, his defense not to day, the american military fees that they are not really up to the levels. and therefore under the by did administration a new concept periods award. instead of calling it deductions, now they call it integrated it others, which basically means that the allies and the pop

that's the reason why there is these concept indoor pacific is strategic. allen's no more asia pacific. right. so a chinese attempt to invade taiwan to re unify with the mainland will succeed or will not succeed. no, no. and will not succeed because you have the indoor pacific around. do we have we hipped our own military? we are working very close. who is the friend never, it was never the countries are going to shots over the us hasn't committed that it will come with us troops to fight on the side of taiwan. they don't have to, that's the policy of ambiguity. and what they can, what is the don't come through and tie one is left alone to face china. we have to face that. the rent rollin i will, if you really listen out out guns, you out man 0 and they're going to pay a big price so big that we do think it again. it's what it's worth it to a tech type one. and it, it can't the warranty unify as a re universe, whatever you say that you try to attract us. not a take us, but then john is not listening to these demands. is it? you're right, but let's see, i think is the is, is it kick aga

european conflict, but also as a conflict a with the asia-pacific theater of operations.as you know, the united states of america fought against japan as a relatively small country, which was located in the very center of the pacific ocean. it attracted different attention from different countries as well, because it was a very important point and well transportation point including on the way from north america, respectively, across the pacific to asia starting in 1835. in hawaii, the sugar industry begins to develop, and sugar cane was grown. uh, they made sugar into molasses. uh, that is, such a sugar syrup and all this was transported to the united states of america, uh, s. uh, the gold rush and the influx of people into california a. then from the civil war. sugar in the united states began to rise in price very strongly, as a result of which many companies that were engaged in production at sugar plants, they fabulous enriched and there is such a term, literature. ah, the big five. these are five companies that were engaged in the production of sugar in hawaii. in g

in the pacific of the former colonial countries, which is still there. interesting, the written notice had 2 ships permanently posted in the pacific. this little island off the united kingdom that lost it's formal empire a long time ago. as part of the strategy of spreading the world, the french, big military present, and they're always in the china doesn't that which is the bottom of the united states and lighting the bottom island will become a strategic popular planner. and that's what's the bottom, exercising this off, what it's actually, i mean say you say that exercise, and that's often right matthew, and i must say i'm quite impressed and quite surprised by your, by your quite refreshing perspective on this, the parliament islands are a key archipelago and not part of the world us and, and other naval ships passing through there for years and years and years they've been refueling during their freedom of navigation acts and all this stuff in the other, you know, in this part of the world. obviously, the solomon islands are closer to australia and

so cook took control of fundraising for the northern pacific in 1870. but from the start, it was really a disaster railroads. we're in our kind of volatile investments. nobody wanted a piece of it in the us or in europe, but cook was determined. he was obstinate. he thought that with enough advertising and promotion the northern pacific could build its track and be as success and he saw hayden's yellowstone expedition and the national park that yellowstone became as a boon 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. and this is just sorry i should have gone to this slide. this is this these are two examples of the way that cook was using advertising and newspapers to really gin up some enthusiasm and some bond sales for the northern pacific in 1871. now the man standing in his way was tatanka iyotake sitting bull the hung papalo coated chief. born in the 1830s along the upper, missouri river to a family of war chiefs and community leaders sitting bull was a

one watches, one of 5 countries in the pacific to submit a submit their 2nd. ah, andy said, but what on what to have done now is really put a spotlight on multiple countries taking the lead and really showing true leadership in the efforts to ah, in mitigation and adaptation. and when to walk to special in that it is also calling for highway finance and loss or damage where the cupboard is bare, basically 4 pacific other countries. so it's this leadership, despite unwatched, most negligible emissions that eas, it is important and it's important for our global family to see that if small pacific island countries i doing this despite negligible emissions, then it's a core for the global family, particularly developed countries to step up and submit their o n d. c's. look at life bitches. now from armenians, capital vieira van, where there's been an explosion at a large market in the capital, it's killed at least one person who, hearing so far it set off a far you can see their efforts being made to douse the flames as smoke billows all around it trapping people

it's attention now on china and the pacific. because now the, the one ukraine europe is the winter is coming up with all the allies in europe are quietly, i'm sure, complaining about what they will have, what it suddenly waking up, alessandra suddenly, waking up to the fact that russian energy is the backbone of a european economy without russian energy. there is no european economy. i wanted to ask you, what will i still got? you hear? you talk about distractions going on around the world. i mean, some people say there are 4 at least 4 flash points that america is involved in. right now, taiwan, ukraine, soviet, kosovo, and iran. and then, and then if you look at the position, the geo, the geo, the geographical, excuse me, position of china to china is an eastern coast northeast, eastern southeast there, american military bases in that region. there are so many american military bases, in fact, china's eastern flank is entirely dotted with us. space is how it, how does china feel about that? well, i mean, again, speaking of dis

at the june summit, she announced her claim to a dominant role in the asia-pacific region.spite the fact that all nato countries are located thousands of miles from this region. on august 2, the russian federation celebrated the 77th anniversary of the entry of the soviet union into the war with japan. the occasion for which was the militaristic policy of tokyo, the spread of japanese troops in the far east actually sealed the end of the second world war ii gave impetus to the liberation of the peoples of asia from colonial oppression. the assistance of the ussr was of key importance in this regard. we remember and are proud of the heritage of our ancestors, including those who laid the foundation for military cooperation between russia and the countries of the asia-pacific region. another regional dangerous trend. this is the focus of the aucus on the development of a nuclear submarine fleet in australia. the implementation of this plan will have a complex negative impact on global regional security and will create conditions for undermining the treaty on the non-prolifera

where they boarded union pacific trains to august, in utah. they made a pit stop in cheyenne, wyoming. they gathered supplies, most notably horses. and then made their way west. they spent a little bit of time in utah exploring haugen, exploring salt lake city, where they also got supplies. salt lake city was a very important stop on the major road between california and colorado. they're also quite interested in what they would've considered the more curious aspects of salt lake city. its founding in mormonism, brigham young, it's presidents he spent a lot of time looking around their. they left on june 10th. for the real start of the expedition. moving northward along a stage road from of denver but antenna, there they had wagons, they had horses with them bringing all their supplies. by july 13th, they arrived at fort ellis in montana, just outside of bozeman. where they picked up their second calvary escort. by july 15th, the rat bottler's ranch, which was a ranting place run by german brothers in the yellowstone river valley. if you have

she's just going to see more of the pacific ocean. and yet we look at all of the ramping other engines that we're seeing between the u. s. and china right now that makes you wonder if she truly realizes the impact of this visit that let's take the politicians rhetoric out of the equation for now. rachel, what's the general view in america? regarding this whole thing? yeah, there seem to be more questions than answers as to why policy is embarking on a trip like this, right, with everything that's going on in the u. s. right now with the american people who have repeatedly said that they're concerned about skyrocketing gas prices, about inflation. but all of the issues they have going on at home. they're wondering why the speaker of the house is making a trip like this and why she's costing the american taxpayers millions of dollars in security in order to make this possible. and that really is reflected in some of the voices that we're hearing speaking out now. questioning why now, why this trip and why is this something that blows em

>> i've seen a bit of a shift collectively on the focus on the indo pacific. now that i am in washington, and now they are more focused on the indo pacific. i've spent time with my counterparts in singapore and philippine. i also start to see more and more ships with full person commodities. you mentioned different types of items but i also see a shift in that direction even with the current events in europe. that is a positive when you talk about the aspect of acceleration. we are making shifts we are moving as fast as we possibly could. we could probably move faster in some areas but i see that though momentum moving in that direction. that's the feedback i got for my partners in the region. it is also a global effort. european nations are focused on the indo pacific. there are some positive trendlines. i want to make sure any threats we continue to deter. >> maybe you want to move faster but still pushing the rock up hill. when you get your next generation are -- aircraft. going back five years, is the air force ready? >> i believe you have to do stand on a

not really even the entire indo pacific, primarily the pacific and largely the south and east china sea areas and parts of the western pacific ocean that are contiguous to them. places with a lot of islands, places with a lot of opportunity for setting up potentially small bases which do not depend on two mile long runways or other vulnerable infrastructure, but that can involve smaller teams of marines with the capability to develop their own intelligence on threats in the vicinity and strike those threats, probably largely with long range missiles and rockets. and therefore, general berger has decided the marine corps shouldn't have tanks anymore and made big changes there. he's decided to replace a lot of the sort of dumb artillery with precision artillery. he's decided to move from big amphibious ships where we put a lot of eggs and a lot of marines in one small basket or to be specific, about 35 ask its -- about 35 baskets. that's the entire amphibious fleet. and he wants to move towards smaller ships, less vulnerable, more capable of limited operations and in a more dispersed kind

we will continue to operate in the seas and the skies of the western pacific. as we have done for decades. we will continue to support taiwan, defend a free and open in the pacific, and seek to maintain communication with beijing. sense of switched recognition from ty paid to beijing. washington has held and ambivalent position regarding china and taiwan. it officially acknowledges beijing as the only legitimate government for the whole of china, including taiwan in line with the one china policy. but this is not prevented us from maintaining unofficial relations with ty pay, and sending military aid to the island. china says that the time has come for the us to stop the plane, the tie one cod. this is a serious violation of the one china principle. there is but one china in the world tie one is an inalienable part of china's territory. china strongly urges the united states to stop playing the tie one cart and using tie one to contain china. one china policy has been a definitive aspect of us china relations for the past 40 year. but today's visit by nancy pel

pacific forces and we will talk more about that this morning. i want to offer you the opportunity including our online viewers including twitter and youtube. >> he has a command pilot although he says that is not the end all the all of why he joined. he was commissioned from texas tech. he has commanded many different levels but what i think my favorite partas military kids. you have two grown sons we talk about regularly. thank you for coming here. >> my pleasure. [applause] >> it's on the screen. that's for anybody who wants to send in your questions. i thought we could talk about air men and their families. there is still about -- a lot of data recently, not just financial but some surveys that troops are worried about fighting. we hear about the mitigating of inflation. that must be front and center. i'm looking at a budget request in for next year which starts in a few weeks. it would be for present and there's a new department of labor report that puts defense purchases closer to 15. that's a lot of money and military pay is a big chunk of

roger, this was the asia pacific chief economist at s a b global market intelligence. thank you for your time. robin. thank here. now here in germany, oil major shell says it cut output at its rhine land refinery. the facility makes fuels heating oil and cut or chemicals, but low water levels on the river. i have made the transport of goods wire. germany's most important waterway. a big challenge, not just for vessels servicing. the chemical sector. patrick, misty is his ship. the colors still down the rhine river to a cool fired power plant. decorated though it sailing down a narrow passage south of cold blends with such little water in the river called the nation with oncoming traffic is essential thought, acquiesced tony, coming down streams a bit bigger is sitting deeper into water boy and asked if we can slow down it so i don't move too much water to ensure a safe passage for him. the other by the thought delighted. patrick grew up on the water. his father and grandfather also sales carrying grain fertilize and coal. but this summer presents a new challenge. would

we will continue to operate in the seas in the skies of the western pacific. as we have done for decades, we will continue to support taiwan. defend a free and open indo pacific and seek to maintain communication with beijing. meanwhile, nancy pelosi seems to see nothing special in her visit. when it comes to china's reaction, our delegation came here to send an unequivocal message. america stand with taiwan. while china has stood in the way of taiwan participating and going to certain meetings that they understand, that they will not stand in the way of people coming to taiwan as a show of friendship of support. but also a source of learning about how we can work together better in collaboration. so it, yeah, no i, i don't. i think that that they made a big fuss because on speaker, i guess, i don't know if that was a reason or an excuse because they didn't say anything. when the men came. however, it's the us inconsistency of china's territorial integrity that has become a cause of contention for beijing. since it's switch recognition from taipei to beijing,

s. nato have spoken about their plans to expand in the india pacific. john does washington view taiwan as an ally or an military asset min? well 1st of all, i think it's very important for tie want to take a much stronger, much more robust approach to its own defense. i. it cannot rely on other countries along to defend it. and right now, unfortunately, don't see taiwan spending the kind of percentage of its budget to really adopt what we would call a serious porcupine strategy of making any potential amphibious invasion by china, of taiwan. as painful to the overwhelmingly dominant chinese military as possible. plus, they're not properly training their own soldiers, their own civilians, to protect the country in the event of an invasion. so i think 1st of all, it's up to tie want to step up its own self defense capability, and then look to see where the united states or japan may come to its assistance in the event of an all out military invasion by china, which is not a sure mean i would imagine that it would be foolish for china to undertake such a c

we will continue to operate in the seas in the skies of the western pacific. as we have done for decade, we will continue to support taiwan. defend a free and open indo pacific and seek to maintain communication with beijing. sunset flux recognition from type pe to beijing. washington has held an ambivalent position regarding china and taiwan officially acknowledges basing as the only legitimate government for the whole of china, including tie one in line with the one china policy. however, this has not prevented us from maintaining unofficial relations with type pe and sending military aid to the island. china said that the time has come for us to stop playing the tie one cod. this is a serious violation of the one china principle. there is but one china in the world tie one is an inalienable part of china's territory. china strongly urges the united states to stop playing the tie one cart and using tie one to contain china. one, china policy has been a definitive aspect and us sign in relation to the past 40 year. but today's visit by nancy pelosi seems to p

and we do so at a time when our president has put forth an asian pacific initiative, which we support. and we want to be specific in terms of how we work with taiwan in that regard. clearly it's a publication of china. and if you are talking about cooperation in the atmosphere, that's here at the moment of confrontation, military confrontation, you're talking about building up the american presence or support of taiwan, which is basically an aircraft carrier for the united states and foreign policy. so visit, i'm sure, despite the controversy over who in the white house supported the miracle ministration, who didn't, must have the okay from president biden and from others. so it's a publication of china and it's part of the whole process that has been laid out in the madrid summit declaration of later to contain china could have to continue the publications of china. and of course, russia as well. the 2 countries being joined together because both represent opposition and a poll of attraction in the world to the united states. this is the moment nancy pelosi arrived at function a port

it's a similar situation in laos in the asia pacific, which is also facing severe problems due to low foreign exchange reserves. so in a round the world, many emerging markets are facing varying degrees of stress because of higher energy prices. and also higher food costs are affecting some of the countries and, ah, north africa, for example, some in sub saharan are that are large importers of food commodities, such as brands. and because of the russia ukraine war with the very large increases in the prices of certain grains such as wheat. so some of these countries are right in, oops, your stress rogers as was the asia pacific chief economist at s b global market intelligence. thank you for your time, robin. thank you. now here in germany, oil major shell says it cut output at its ryan land refinery. the facility makes fuels heating oil and country chemicals, but low water levels on the river rine have made the transport of goods wire. germany's most important waterway. a big challenge, not just for vessels servicing the chemical sector. patrick niss diaz, his ship, the colors still

earlier i spoke to roger biz was asia pacific chief economist at s and p global market intelligence. and i asked them what the real life consequences for these emerging economies are when interest rates in the united states and other industrialized nations rise, where we do see differentiation amongst our in emerging mark, its investors are differentiating between the different countries, those emerging markets, which have strong external account positions ah, strong current account balances and low foreign debt have been much more resilient . despite the volatility that we're seeing in global capital markets and foreign exchange markets. however, they are a growing number of emerging markets and developing countries that have week external account positions. and what's all sorts of that which are those which are those particularly affected very large number of countries. so, you know, we've, we've, we've sat listing, it could take quite a long time, but up, oh, i'll give you some examples of some of those countries. so basically when we look at the world of emerging markets, though,

at the same time, we will not be deterred from operating in the seas in the skies of the western pacific. consistent with international law. as we have for decades, supporting taiwan and defending a free and open indo pacific residence of a south african township of beaten. a group of men suspected of being illegal miners for you say at least one person's been killed. crowds and coriso and the outskirts of crystal targeted the miners after 8 women were gang raped by armed men last week, please have arrested more than a 120 suspects residency. the miners are responsible for high levels of local crime, 10 minors at frampton collapsed mexican coal mine. more than 200 army in government . rescuers had been sent to the site in the states of koya miners a trap between shafts which were half flooded by water. after a wall was breached those, the headlines coming up next. it's witness. good bye. ah a . 7 good, and it will come over in for me when i, when did it, it ended and then, but i can develop what it is on a home or a c. in fact that, i mean, i get a key, impose your call it a kia, i'm the

the dramatic effect climate change is having on migration patterns, in the pacific rim — we have a specialestigation, in the latest climate critical report. after dominating womens�* tennis for a quarter of a century, 23—time grand slam champion, serena williams suggests she's planning to retire. hello, thank you forjoining us. senior republicans in the us have condemned the fbi's unprecedented search of donald trump's florida home, on monday, as an abuse of power. the former vice president mike pence called for the us attorney general to give a full public account of why it happened, saying it caused him deep concern. the former president, who was not at mar—a—lago at the time, said a number of agents had occupied the compound and broken into his safe. the white house says president biden learned about the search from media reports. our north america correspondent john sudworth reports from washington. cars beeping their horns. save america! the trump bandwagon is fuelled by conspiracy, and news of the search brought supporters to his florida resort even more convinced of their theories o
