s. u. k and australia made the surprise announcement about their new partnership. on wednesday. it will see australia provided with the technology and capability to deploy nuclear powered submarines, new zealand, singapore in japan, have all largely welcome to the move or at least the in the pacific focus, which will see the sharing of other defense technology. but it has been called a trump style. stab in the back by france, which will lose its own submarine deal with australia. and it's overshadowed the european union's long expected pacific strategy, which was announced that just hours later. and as the 3 outliers may have intended, the worst reception was in china. it warned of damage to regional stability. but the deals being seen as a pushback against its own military build up in the south china sea. on thursday, the us that the 3 of state joined his australian counterpart to try to reassure allies that they would not be shutout roslyn. jordan reports from washington. the u. s. u. k and

s. u k . now at this time helping a straight ya develop a nuclear power suite of submarines and then turning around and saying this will advance the, the world peace. clearly this is about another war. this is about a war that is being prepared against china. the us leaders, they talk about the endo pacific just of course, and the term was made up to enable the us to explain us leaders explain, bringing more countries into the anti china alliance, surrounded china. on the surface, we see that the u. s. and the u. k is empowering australia to have nuclear submarine. i think the under one key reason for this empowerment is the us in the ability to provide more defense budget to support this large spending of nuclear power summaries. so it says it is forcing australia to share the cost of maintaining such ships and also strategic positions and also forces yourself to be and also in the pacific region, especially now that there is increasing tension between china and australia. so china is watchin

u. s. and the u. k. a. today they work within their own proper alliance with 5 eyes project with canada as well. and then the u. s. included, they work more closely. it's like within the anglo saxon world, these are the real, this is the real alliance. and they were much closer together than they do when there are other allies. and this is why france has been excluded. i think because the u. k. australia and the, and the u. s. trust themselves more than the new trust countries like france or other ones, community or even germany. when you bring up the issue of trust. as you were saying, europe in america was supposed to be working together on defense such as nathan with you said together. is it possible that a, a new security packed with australia, the u. k. in america, could this undermine nato, in any way? do you think? i don't forget the manual macro said a couple years ago that data was brain dead. even donald trump said that nato had to be reviewed. nato isn't working as it's supposed to be. it was init

u. s. security pipe with a u. k. and australia resulted in the loss of a lucrative submarine deal for powers on the program. we get reaction on the street of the french capital. this is not the 1st time that the united states has taken contrast from last. they are very good at that. we do not respect anyone apart from themselves, the act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that because i think if france it's on the same, they would have complain. giving the game away. while washington in the new pacific security alliance is not aimed at any one, the secretary of defense makes the true target abundantly clear. we spoke in detail about china as the stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to force and intimidate other countries. this agreement, this relationship does not aim that anything or anyone. instagram permanently last saw fees investigative media project, read face shop for a similar move by facebook. earlier in the year, we look at an alarming level of control being wielded by social media gia

u. s. and u. k. making decisions without consulting their friends with nato's ongoing friendship. crisis airing it's member states dirty laundry. many are finding it hard to see a strong united future for the west over 7 decade long military alliance. nato was considered by france and months ago, the year to go by president my whole brain dead, a brain dead alliance, fast strong words within nato. they want to revive the concept, he's teaching concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific, cruising around china with the others. this is not the way nature was conceived, and it shouldn't be there. europeans should not be in that region of the world markets that repeatedly, that we should enlarge, our vision any desperately look to something to do. that's the reality. you know, we are in the, i mean, main to what's in the scanner stuff is in iraq to train the forces. that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north at

u. s. the u. k. and australia have defended their new strategic alliance after it came under attack from china on to the agreements. the strictly and governments will get you clear parts of marines. it's seen as an efforts to come to pages influence in the pacific region with china says it will only intensify an arms race . was when jordan reports in washington dc. the u. s. u. k and australia reportedly agreed to form a new defense alliance on the sidelines of this year's g. 7 summit in england, washington and london will help it by a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. the main reason for the alliance containing china, we spoke in detail about china as the stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to course and intimidate other countries. contrary to establish rules and norms, we will remain clear eyed and review a beijing's efforts to undermine the established international order. we discussed the competition of china at a number of levels that requires us to respond and to increase resilience. t

s. u. k. and australia reportedly agreed to form a new defense alliance on the sidelines of this year's g. 7 summit in england, washington in london will help it by a fleet of nuclear power submarines. the main reason for the alliance containing china, we spoke in detail about china as the stabilizing activities in beijing is efforts to course and intimidate other countries. contrary to establish rules and norms, we will remain clear eyed and our view beijing's efforts to undermine the established international order. we discussed the competition of china at a number of levels that require us to respond and to increase resilience. this does not mean that there are not constructive areas for engagement with china straight. it continues to sake dialogue with china without pre conditions. not surprisingly, beijing condemned both the alliance and the submarine deals may war. war who attended the export of highly sensitive nuclear power submarines technology by the united states and britain to aust

s. u. k and australia has left it out of a pacific security pack that is being seen as an effort to counter china bus to revive and make the rather embarrassing flip off while announcing that deal. and finally, forgetting the name of the australian prime minister and make it bores when i want to thank have trouble down under thank you very much, appreciate it. mr. prime is also on the program on our tea, while european markets, real from wednesdays, record search and the natural gas price of critics where the policy missteps are harming energy security. and finally, russia's parliamentary election is now just a day away here went into national. we'll bring you the full breakdown at this hour throughout the 3 days of voting. ah, well, a very warm welcome to you for all of us here at the international in moscow with so just off at 9 am now on thursday morning. we do start this program with breaking news from western russia. we understand a man hunt is under way in the vote on hedge region. afte

u. k. u. s. so it seems that they're picking me that on the international stage when it comes to defense issue. teresa, i do want to dig into some of the pacific stuff in just a moment as plenty to discuss that. but nicholas, i want to bring you in here because we're talking about you political well, not just in terms of finding money to do all of this, but also in terms of spending it on the right things and also dealing with the whole nature issue. so in your mind, nicholas, what's actually holding this hold on there are a couple of things. one of them has been mentioned by both my colleagues already, which is the fear of duplication between the resorts already go into a show. the results of my going to you on a little bit skeptical about this, to be honest because actually this is, these are resorts that are going to be used one way or the other anyway. and i'm not sure it makes such a big difference which helps people are wearing when they're, when they're under a particular taking a particul

s. u k and australia have defended their new security alliance under which the australian government will be able to develop nuclear power submarines. it's seen as an effort to counter china's in.

u. k. seem to be operating independently of ne, to hear that divisions inside the block. oh, no doubt, no doubt. and the u. s. and the u. k. since world war 2, especially the u. k. a few years afterwards, especially after their misadventure is more against egypt and $956.00. the, the ruling ally in, in the united kingdom decided they have a position as the junior partner of the united states. and so they operate that way . they operated that way and regard to the iraq war, 2003, when there was a position within there. there's a lot of there's a lot of differences they had to do with huge amounts of money. the contracts for our summer, but they also have to do with what i think it's called inter, into realist rivalry between the us and frank taking that most of that plays out in africa. but it also is playing out to do richard becca. and he will activist at coalition. mr. becker, thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. and we're now moving to the heart of moscow and our special coverage of the force coming elementary election voting will be held over 3 days. it will run from friday to sunday and

u. k and the u. s. signed a pacific security packed called orchestra seen as countering china and involves cooperation in the realms of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and nuclear defense. australia will acquire a nuclear power submarine fleet with american and british technology. china, which is the dominant power in the indo pacific region, as can done deal, is being cold war mentality. neither washington nor london have explicitly linked the new deal to the supposed threat from basing the remarks from the us defense secretary left little room for doubt. we spoke in detail about china, the stabilizing activities in beijing is efforts to course and intimidate other countries. this agreement, this relationship does not aim that anything or anyone. while china and friends of angry about the new pact, others are asking what it could mean to nato. katrinka sons the latest reactions. when donald trump left office and joe biden took charge, it could have been a sigh of relief for some of washington's

u. s. the u. k. and it's trailing europe's with energy shortage in decades, rattles the politicians and consumers facing a chilly winter without fuel. but there's a familiar escape go to as well, make his demand that moscow come small gas also ahead as well. the way the story has captivated the nation has many wondering why not the same media attention when people of color go missing. well, the answer actually has a name missing white woman syndrome with us police on a massive man right now in the suspected murder of a young white woman. mainstream media is focusing on whether her race actually is the real reason why there's been such a public outcry over it. ah, bring it out to the russia. this is out international with me, kevin, though in life my world, these h q, this thursday, 1st to members, are calling for a review of the alliance. his strategy, as the crisis grows over at new security agreement between the u. s. the u. k. in australia, with paris left out of the loop from says defense chief s

u. s. and the u. k. also, the australian government re committing to disagreement to buy french submarines just a few weeks ago, says the french foreign minister. so what happens there are many who want on. so from australia they're asking for 30, from the australian prime minister the scope morrison. and then this deep sense of disappointment in joe biden showing material, again saying that the current washington administration has acted in a trump like manner. trump, who is known for taking a unilateral decisions for not consulting allies. well, in this case of from says it was who consulted the youth says that it wasn't consulted. we are likely to hear a lot more reaction, a little bit later the fridge present the minute macro is due to the farewell dinner for the german chancellor anglo merkel. of course you to step down from that position. this may well bolster a manual micro assertion, something that he is held a low belief that keys is often fed. the us is distancing itself from its international

u . s. m a u k. to give a women strangely committed to maintaining a pre and i've been in the pacific region and counter balancing and deterring, arise in china. the secondly, from an australian perspective, this really elevates our role in the region. the fact that we're getting nuclear submarines i think gives us much more capable naval forces. the mom had before and allowed to be a strategic partner to the us in the u. k. and play a strategic role in the region. yeah. and that's an important point to make malcolm because since president biden took off his, he has refocused us foreign policy onto the indo pacific region. but does this alliance then weaponized, australia is foreign policy in the region. i mean, camera get some shiny new nuclear submarines, but that worsens the already front just relationship between camera and beijing. well, fractious relationship, as you point out, is, is the fault of basing not camera. and that relationship is probably going to continue to work in your respective

u. s. and the u. k. of stub through in the back in australia, the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from a structuring partnership with australia at the time when we're facing unprecedented challenges in the, in the pacific region showed the lack of coherence that france can only note and regret the new agreement is called up orcus. now the 3 nations will show data on a strategic areas including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, also, nuclear defense. and under the terms, australia will acquire a nuclear power submarine fleet with a use of american and british technology. well, in a further snub to paris, australia has scrapped a $66000000000.00 deal with a french firm to build 12 military submarines. and that's just the latest blow to the u. arms industry. at a time when members states are struggling to meet their funding commitments to nato . there are also long running divisions in the block of creating its own army to ensure strategical told me from the tran

u. s. and u. k. making decisions without consulting their friends with nato's ongoing friendship. crisis airing it's member states dirty laundry. many are finding it hard to see a strong united future for the west over 7 decade long military alliance. nato was considered by france a month ago, the year to go by president michael as brain dead, a brain dead alliance past strong words within nato. they want to revise the concept, he's teaching concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific, cruising around china with us. this is not the way nature was conceived and it shouldn't be there. europeans should not be in that region of the world markets that repeatedly, that we should enlarge, our vision any desperately look to something to do. that's the reality. you know, we are in the, i mean, maintain what's in the scanner is in iraq to train the forces. that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north atlantic anymore.

u. s. and the u. k of stopped her in the back in australia, still a v e readers are still really over what the biden and ministration did of ghana, stan. and now paris has been stunned by washington's announcement of a new partnership with australia and the u. k. called all because, but haven't the u. s. the u. k. and all these been calls allies for ages? what's the problem? well, thanks to august, australia will now be hooked up with us technology to build nuclear submarines while france waves goodbye to its own multi 1000000000 dollar contract to build 12 diesel subs for a camera. now for some damage control by senior american officials. after that deal was to repeat ode, there are a range of partnerships that include the french and some partnerships that don't. and they have partnerships with other countries that don't include us. that is part of how global diplomacy works are such words enough to calm the fury in paris, which is even called off a gala, at the french embassy in washington to celebrat

u. s. and the u. k of stopped her in the back in australia still v, the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from restructuring partnership with australia at the time when we are facing unprecedented challenges in the in the pacific region shows a lack of coherence that france can only note and regret. so instead of failure have find the security parks with the united kingdom and the united states overgrown concerns over china and its regional dominance on this deal. then what it all really entails is that all 3 nations will be sharing secrets and data and information on a strategic level on areas, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and also nuclear defense. part of this, we'll see that australia will now acquire a nuclear submarine making the 7 the country in the world to get a nuclear saw just the last time that the united states allowed such capabilities was right here to the united kingdom some decades ago. so very grand gesture, indeed. however, it's

u. k. called office. but haven't the u. s . the u. k. and all these been calls allies for ages. what's the problem? well, thanks to august, australia will now be hooked up with us technology to build nuclear submarines while france waves goodbye to its own multi $1000000000.00 contract to build 12 diesel subs for camera. now, for some damage control by senior american officials, after that deal was to repeat ode. there are a range of partnerships that include the french and some partnerships that don't. and they have partnerships with other countries that don't include us. that is part of how global diplomacy works are such words enough to calm the fury in paris, which is even called of a gala, at the french embassy in washington to celebrate historic ties with the u. s. good question. anyway, the french government has shown they're not willing to just swallow that bitter pill. plus there's solidarity with paris from b, e. u on the matter. you know, because you're happily, it is a good opportunity to recall to reflect on the need to raise the issue of european strategic autonomy

u. s. to explain us leaders explain, bringing more countries into the anti china alliance, surrounded china on the surface, received at the u. s. and the u. k is empowering australia to have nuclear submarine. i think the under one key reason for this empowerment is the us in the ability to provide more defense budget to support this large spending of nuclear power summaries. so it says it is forcing australia to share the cost of maintaining such ships and also strategic positions. and also. ready forces yourself to see and also in the pacific region, especially now that there is increase of tension between the china and australia. so china is watching very closely. the next steps of this free country alliance, europe's reeling from a price shortcoming, signage markets, natural gas rates at an all time record when say, almost a $1000.00 per 1000 cubic meters. and this is how the market rollercoaster looks on wednesday. check out the chart, the price peaking at $990.00, but that is more than 50 percent higher than just 2 weeks ago. why late evening things come on a touch, but i only saw a warning of further volatility. current crisis is bei

s. u. k and australia. france says the alliance the stop in the back. a hello, i'm down, jordan, this is out of here ally from coming up. the taliban rejects claims of in fighting . just days after announcing a new government and i've got stuff west african leaders in post sanctions on guineas miniature rulers, that demanding a return to democracy within 6 months. and a focus on the 4th, the royal time police are facing separate high profiles, gamble ah, the u. s u k and australia have defended the new in the pacific security alliance. after came under attack from china under the agreement, the australian government will get nuclear power submarines. it's seen as an effort to counter beijing's growing influence in the pacific, but china says it alone intensify an arms race rather than jordan reports now from washington d. c. the u. s. u. k and australia reportedly agreed to form a new defense alliance on the sidelines of this year's g. 7 summit in england, washington in london will help it by

u. s. and u. k. the deal between the u. k. u. s. in austria is widely seen as an effort to count of china's influence in the region. recalling ambassadors in the carefully coded language of diplomatic relations is, is a pretty serious move. it's not the breaking off of diplomatic relations, but it's what you do, what you want to show to a country that you really are not happy with the way it's behave. and let's not forget that france is the united states oldest allies, allies, a relationship that goes back to 1778. when france recognized the independence of these breakaway colonial states. and help them in that war of independence against the british b, u. s. military, as i mentioned, a drone strike and i've kinda sounds capital last month, kill civilians of not isolate sciences. 10 people including 7 children, died in the attack. in cobble top us commander has apologized guineas. military leaders say that they will not bow to international pressure to let detained president of a condo fly into exile. the west african regional block

u. s. the u. k and astray layer is paris left out of the loop. frances defense chief say political dialogue between nato states as all but disappeared. let you to does it as you near the attitude of the united states. one of the submarine program is a southern association of the division that we have been making for months today. political dialogue is non existent within the atlantic alliance. donald quarter looks next to the growing rift was in the military block made worse by britain's leader, apparently laughing off the damage done by the new or casteel. what, what do you say? i know that you have only a have a great mutual protection, a greater common purpose. all this seems to go out the window and there's a bit of money to be made. the recent controversy surrounding the u. s. u. k and australia as new security pack has left in new leaders scratching their heads about what even means to be in nato anymore. the reason for nato existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind t

s. u. k, australia security partnership. again at a time when e. u. member states are also struggling to meet the funding commitments in nato as well. so that could be a why to political backlash than just that of china. we saw this get reaction to this story by gauging opinion on the streets of paris. you buy from your phone. this is not the 1st time that the united states has taken contracts from us. they are very good at that. we do not respect anyone apart from themselves. they act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that because i think if france had done the same, they would have complained they wouldn't have liked it. we'll see if the current president's is better than the last one. it represents a lot of money, a lot of jobs, but it would be better if these jobs were for making other things. it's a little dishonest, i suppose. and the other hand there were closes which allowed them to break the contract before they just making the submarines. no, it's never good for a person to see that a contract has been broken. it's happened

u. s. on u. k. ah, and i want money inside this algae airline from doha. also coming up a regional security block led by china and russia push it installed new lead is to follow what it calls a moderate par.

s. u. k. and australia is being met with backlash from both allies and adversaries. the pact which is named orchestra will help australia acquire nuclear power submarines while also allowing the sharing of intelligence the agreement seen as an effort the counter china's influence in the pacific. but beijing says it's severely damages regional piece while intensifying an arms race talk. diplomats from the us and australia have doubled down on the deal. i want to, besides that there is no regional divide, separating the interests of our atlantic and our pacific partners. this partnership with australia in the united kingdom is a signal that we're committed to working with our allies and partners, including in europe, to ensure a free and open in the pacific. we welcome european countries playing an important role in the, in the, you know, specific. we look forward to continue close cooperation with nato, with the european union and others in this endeavor. united states leadership in the in the

u. s. and the new k is empowering australia to have the nuclear submarine. i think the under one key reason for this empowerment is the u. s. inability to provide more defense budget to support this, a large spending of nuclear power summaries. so it says it is forcing australia to share the costs of maintaining such ships and also strategic positions. and also. ready forces into soap toilet and also pacific region especially now that. ready there is increasing potential between the china and china. what very closely the next steps of this free country alliance out on europe is raining from a price shock on its energy market. natural gas rates had an all time record on wednesday of almost a $1000.00 per 1000 cubic meters. this is how that market roller coaster looked on wednesday. the price piece at $900.00, and $8.00, which is mobile 50 percent higher than 2 weeks ago. by late evening, things come down somewhat with a warning of villa, tennessee. the current crisis is being blamed partly on energy policy is being pushed by western governments as unsafe charl
