china has you know the wire that they should use destructed away from both their way from china sea and the south china sea for the korean peninsula nobody's talking about the south china sea any more so china has better you know more free hand to take auctions in those areas so we're pretty you can say and or limited pressure defense resources has been diverted to some extent not then toddy but from away from the south china sea and the sea toward the korean peninsula so it's really a taking heat to win in this situation which is thank you for being with us today we were discussing how the international community should handle the north korean nuclear crisis with former japanese government adviser and military scholar dr get me that's it for this edition of sophie and co i will see you next. in case you're new to the game this is how it works in the economy is built around core. washington washington post media. to me though voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . what politicia

sea. well it's not necessary good news we have north korea because. china has. the. destructed away from way from china sea and the south china sea. nobody's talking about the china sea anymore so. better you know more free high and. take auctions in those areas so we are pretty and or limited precious resources has been diverted to some extent not the entirety but from away from the south china sea and sea toward the korean peninsula so it's really a taking heat in in this situation which is thank you for being with us today we were discussing how the international community should handle the north korean nuclear crisis with former japanese government adviser and military scholar dr get me that's it for this edition of sophie and co i will see you next. we'll. when the really close is project. we can all middle of the room sit. the real news is really. this with me and many. of the others well plus animals i knew but i. know both it was a problem but i guess i kind of scientists you. see a dumb thought and just no sooner because i don't need to see. where they. he will get i'm just a good area to hunt for immigrants it

and china's aggressive, the stance in south china sea. and from east china sea, for the first time, the passing the strait of miyako moved to the pacific ocean in a very rapid pace, the fleet has become more aggressive. so aid to a.d., this strategy, they have already demonstrated by using their own activities enable in the air farcorce. the other change is u.s., there is a change of u.s., the strategy. and so vis-a-vis aid to a.d. in order to come to that, the first of the first island chain. we will treat the u.s. forces to the east of guam. and the first island chain defense is left up to the alliance, allied countries. in using long-distance strike try to contain china. we heard that that strategy has been currently studied. if that strategy becomes reality, as mr. takei mentioned, so how we should strongly defend the first island chain. so i think over the last four years, that's what we really study from now. so with all those changes, the japan had come to the point of revising the national defense program guideline since four years

there is a massive military buildup in the south china sea. gh south china sea. north korea could affect the trade flow. it could be a black swan in the coming. mark: cash holdings are still high? >> it has dropped this year from last year, but it is still high. , two thirds of their assets are in risks. they want to have a's civic allocation to cash to be protected. specific allocation to cash the protected. tok: this is relatively low ubs. is that correct? what are you doing to prove that? >> our market share is 10%. what we do is we offer multicurrency, multi-looking opportunities. we are really good at the cross divisional. increaset you doing to that percentage? >> we are where the growth is worried we have 13 locations globally. we are in hong kong, singapore, tokyo, u.k., 10 locations in europe did -- europe. we are in the united states and middle east. american and asian civic family offices -- civic offices areacific committed to growth. others have a more balanced approach. how would you account that? >> that is true. americans are mo

they have the south china sea. we have not yet -- lou: i think you would agree. give the trump administration great credit. they are challenging china in the south china sea. and this president put three carrier strike forces off the korean peninsula. this president is make it absolutely clear what the deal is. and xi jinping in response is shooting nothing but bull. >> i think we need to start affecting the chinese economy. they only have about two weeks of oil at any given time. last time i checked we had some pretty good allies in the gulf region who could help mitigate their fuel. lou: i want to turn to what happened in london. all of us are concerned. our hearts and prayers go out to the folks in the u.k. but the london terror goes on and on and on. radical islamists have it seems a free hands in london to carry out terrorist attacks. the mayor of london said he's calm and will not give in. srnlts that just find and dandy, he will not give in. what kinds of battle cry is that? >> he's an enabler. they defeated the i.r.a. during the northern ireland thing. th

and the china -- china's aggressive stance in south china sea and from east china sea for the first time the passing the strait of nialko moved to the pacific ocean in a very rapid space as a fleet, the activities become more aggressive so a to ad which is the finest by america, and this china strategy they have already demonstrated by using their own -- the activities of naval and air force activities of china have become more aggressive. we do need to step up our efforts to respond to this change and the other change is u.s. -- there is a change of u.s. the strategy -- and so in order to counter that, the first -- the first island chain we treat u.s. forces to the east of guam and the first island chain defense is left up to the alliance -- allied countries and using long distance strike try to contain china, we heard that that strategy has been currently studied. if that strategy becomes reality as mr. takei mentioned, so how we should strongly defend the first island chain, so i think over the last four years, i think that's what we really study from now. so with all those changes, t

when defending sovereignty, we will stand by ukraine and against efforts to make changes in the south china sea. a shot at russia with respect to ukraine. a shot at china the south china sea. liz: ambassador nicholas maduro as a socialist dictator holding up the venezuela peace collapse bringing nothing but poverty, starvation and misery to its people. the president saying venezuela's socialism destroyed democracy. listen. >> the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure. those who preach the tenets of these discredited ideologies only contribute to the continued suffering of the people who live under these cruel systems. liz: cruel systems. your thoughts? >> well he is absolutely right in substantive terms, and i can tell you of years dealing with the u.n. going back to the reagan administration, if we had a shot of the audience, their mouth was have been open. he attacked socialism in the united nations. th

china, for example u is -- is seeking to dominate the south china sea with the south china seas. they will continue to to do thao matter what we do or say. trish: great to get your analysis, appreciate it. now joining me right now on thoughts of north korea, fox news strategic analyst and, author, lieutenant ralph peters. colonel, good to see you, we have been talking for days about this and it's been heating up considerably with just last night kim jong un flying a missile over japan, what stage does this leave us in now? >> well, we need to realize some basic things. trish, kim jong un is not afraid of us. despite our overwhelming military power, he doesn't believe we will use it. he believes we are tired n -- in retreat. but overall, kim jong un is convinced that even though -- china will back him and putin will back him and we won't fight. i have tremendous respect for nikki haley, she's really amazing, i think she has a great future ahead of her but she didn't talk about key economic issue which is smuggling. so much of this, the sanctions are being undercut by chinese and r

china's behaving badly so look what they are doing in the south china sea. resorts as the south china sea they are building militariness haitians and a blue ocean navy so it's not the isolation of north korea acting badly. it's china as well expanding it. >> trish: so we need to do something about china. china holds the key to north korea and this is a confrontation that will have to happen at some point given what china is doing from a military perspective as you point out. >> the only thing you can do to china is put economic pain on them in some way, shape or form. >> trish: economic pain there is much much we can do. we've only sanctioned one bank. >> this is the only thing we were dealing with, the whole government, we're dealing with so many things on this front and don't think they don't know it. don't think they don't know the presidents in texas for the flood it's the most serious disaster we've had in this country. >> trish: good to see you guys thank you so much. still to come everyone the one thing to watch for in the week ahead on sunday morning

we have seen over the last 24, 1:8 something we have seen over the last 2a, 48 hours over the south china seahoon just over a week ago. it brought a lot of rain on already very saturated ground. we could see some flooding issues in the next 12 hours. across southeast asia, drier air has been pushing across the north so dry across tuesday but across the south we could see some monsoons and downpours here and the risk of flooding and on and into wednesday. intense thunderstorms across parts of italy, the adriatic and into the balkans and warnings in force across parts of greece as low pressure continues to move east. the tuesday, the eastern mediterranean, gorgeous beach weather and the same for southern turkey but the north—east of greece into wards bulgaria could see violent storms and the risk of flooding. more storms pushing into the western side of italy, but italy will have some sunshine through tuesday afternoon. spain and portugal, dry, sunny and hot across the south and for the ca nary islands, pleasantly hot across the south and for the canary islands, pleasantly warm with temperature

tenant is aggressive in south china sea. from east china sea for the first time, the straight of - moved to the pacific ocean and particular over the last four or five years. a very rapid space as a fleet, the activities become more aggressive. and -- this china strategy they have already demonstrated by using their own activities in naval and air force and china have become more aggressive so we do need to step up our efforts and respond to the change. and the other change is the change of the strategy. and so, in order to counter that first, the first island change, retreat us forces to the east of guam and the first island defense is left up to the alliance. and using long-distance strength tried to contain china. and we had at the strategy has been studied. at the strategy becomes reality, as adm. tomohisa takei mentioned, i think over the last four years we really can study from now with all of his changes, japan has come to the point where the national defense guidelines four years ago the situation has changed and if w

from kind of a slightly different perspective is in the same way when thinking about say the south china sea or the east china sea we cannot look at those situations in a vacuum. in terms of we have to understand them in terms of china's broad, very broad and integrated maritime strategy, i think taiwan also cannot be viewed in singularity. if you look at the '95-'96 crisis, what was one of the major outcomes? it was a decision by the bureau at the time that taiwan is existential for us and we must focus like a laser beam on this problem and south china sea and the other issues go into the background, right? and we'll pay a price, but it will be a manageable one. 12 years later when they can finally look around again, they realize they paid a very big price and they've put their thumb very heavily on the balance scale to try to readdress that. one interesting thing that i find curious as an intellectual exercise is clearly at that time in '95, they decided we cannot have two fronts going on. with modernization, their own sense of their growing power, frankly, their assessment of where we're

threats to sovereignty from the ukraine to the south china sea we must uphold respect the law respect for borders and respect for culture and the peaceful engagement these allow and just as the founders of this body intended we must work together and confront together those who threaten us with chaos turmoil and terror discords of our planet today is a small group of rogue regimes that violate every principle on which the united nations is based they respect neither their own citizens nor the sovereign rights of their countries if the righteous many do not confront the wicked few then evil will triumph when decent people and nations become bystanders to history the forces of destruction only gather power and strength no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the wellbeing of their own people then the depraved regime in north korea it is responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of north koreans and for the imprisonment torture killing and oppression of countless more we were all witness to the regimes deadly abuse when an innocent american college student otto w

the north korean threat and china's assertiveness in the south china sea underscore how japan still relies on the u.s. military for protection, just as it has since the end of world war ii. earlier this month, defense secretary jim mattis said the u.s. will work with japan to enhance its missile defenses, and the u.s. commitment to defend japan remains "ironclad." in tonight's signature segment, newshour weekend special correspondent amy guttman reports from the japanese island of okinawa on how u.s. bases there are a cause of concern to many residents. >> and then, on april 1 at 0530 in the morning... >> reporter: u.s. marine mark waycaster leads tours of the 1945 battle of okinawa every week. >> ...we dropped 4,500 tons of ordnance on that beach. >> reporter: okinawa was the bloodiest battle in the pacific during world war ii. 14,000 americans were killed, as were 150,000 japanese military and civilians. and u.s. troops never left. ( gunfire ) the american soldiers have been the cornerstone of the post- world war ii pact to protect a demilitarized japan. u.s. troops deployed from okinawa

the monsoon stretches into the south china sea into parts of the philippines as well, heavy rain here jakarta. back to the uk now, fairly decent day on the way for tuesday, some sunshine in the forecast, not a completely sunny day, sunny spells rather than wall—to—wall sunshine but pleasant enough, the bestie the week compared to the following days. a lot of sunshine around across england and scotland, may be clouding over in northern ireland, as far as the temperatures go around 18 degrees, the winds will be light so it will feel pleasant. that's a round—up of the world weather, remember the weather for the week ahead is coming up weather for the week ahead is coming upjust weather for the week ahead is coming up just before 10pm. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. president trump has had his say on many things — nato, the paris accord and now the united nations. he says the us pays too much. we must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden. ahead of her expected statement on tuesday, world leaders urge aung san suu kyi to co

no one wants a war going on in the south china sea. i think china wants a diplomatic solution.tepping in. charles: also china wants to have their cake and eat it, too. obviously they enjoy what's going on to a degree or they would have stopped it long ago. >> it's been a south korea and japan problem, not a china problem. they fear most of the collapse of their economy with chinese sanctions. the dynamic that we have to make change is a collapsed regime or reduced regime because of economic sanctions is far better than a collapsed regime because of war and a unified korean peninsula friendly to the united states. i hope the chinese are seeing they better take action and bring action and their terms charles * there is a lot of talk that abe may want to change japan's constitution. are you in favor of them taking control of their own destiny? is it okay for japan to have nukes if north korea has them? >> if they look at the region and see as a result of their buffer state and kim jong-un's provocative action, that japan is remilitarizing so they can takeee offensive action. we ma

linked to the monsoon, it doesn'tjust happen across south asia, it extends to southeast asia, south china seasome break in the rainstorms across borneo and jakarta. from the tropics to the uk and we have rain on the way. nothing too heavy but nonetheless some damp weather for western parts of the country into one state. by early morning, there will be some rain in the northern ireland, western parts of scotland, and thickening cloud, damp weather reaching cornwall, devon, western parts of wales on wednesday. many eastern parts of the country will stay dry and we will have sunshine and one or two shots telemachus pots with temperatures up to 21 degrees. rutherford the weekend... these are some of the main stories, in mexico, magnitude 7.1 earthquake, these are some of the early pictures, we welcome back to the story in a couple of moments. donald trump is saying he is prepared to destroy north korea... rocket man is ona destroy north korea... rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself. and for his regime. all saints eg has broken her silence on the revenge of muslims crisis, but she has no

across the east china sea further north into the northeast of china warm weather coming through here still find dry warm and sunny then across much of japan over the next few days for the south well a chance of some dry weather folk at parts of china this massive cloud here that is a tropical depression feeding some thundery downpours possibility of flooding rains coming into high nanon that will eventually push its way across into a good parts of vietnam we are allowed to see some flooding a warm push on our winds here coming in across the south china seas over the next couple of days meanwhile it is very wet for a good part of the philippines. the coca plant has long been a pillar and believe it is traditions but its use in illegal drugs today is threatening the nation's culture memory and also dorothy's are involved because they received it back while some have made fortunes many others have suffered at the hands of this multi-billion dollar industry me malady my mother was strangled to came and brought to me come with it was a crime who are the winners and losers of this illicit trade snow will be n.d.'s at this time. again the top stories here on al-jazeera the crisis o

applies to every country that sits on the security council so next time china has some issue in the south china sea or russia has some issues in ukraine and it feels that it cannot get support necessary support in the security council you believe it should go had and use its cruise missiles to achieve its political and military goals is that what you're saying well let's let's let's come to a common understanding first i mean surely you agree that the use of chemical weapons violates international salute me i totally agree on that and i think that the people who also rise to carried out that attack should be absolutely brought to justice there is no disagreement about that i think where we disagree is who conducted that attack and as of now russia. houser reasons of not believing the united states simply because the americans have not provided any evidence or any of the intelligence that they keep referencing none of that is public we simply do not take your word for granted that's it i think part of the discussions that are going to take place today and whether lavrov shares that with the russian

we must reject threats to sovereignty from the ukraine to the south china sea. we must uphold respect the law, respect for borders and respect for culture and the peaceful engagement these allow. just as the founders of this body intended, we must work together and confront together those who threaten us with chaos, turmoil and terror. the scorch of our planet today is a small group of rogue regimes that violate every principle on which the united nations is based. they respect neither their own citizens nor their sovereign rights of their countries. if the righteous many do not confront the wicked you then evil will triumph. when decent people in nations become bystanders to history the forces of destruction only gather power and strength. no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well-being of their own people then the depraved regime in north korea. it is responsible for the starvation and deaths of millions of north koreans and for the imprisonment, torture, killing and oppression of countless more. we were all witnessed to the regime's de

south china sea, all their fuel comes in there. trish: what you are saying is important. e who is not dependable there in north korea. they should want to get rid of kim jong-un. i hear you. they haven't indicated -- we are getting kind of wishy washy responses from them. i think if they wanted to get rid of him and do a regime change, i would like to think they could. >> you have to remember the chinese act very slowly. very deliberately. i think maybe it will take some time. they are more national stick. but they have to go through their own internal process. i hope donald trump helped educate them on the downside of their inability to take care of north korea. trish: i hope he does, too. if he doesn't, there is an economic threat that we can utilize. we are their number one customer. for all those goods they export around the world. we are the ones that buy them. without us there buying those goods, it would be severe economic impact. they should realized very soon for their own national security they don't want kim jong-un there. >> the moment we threaten their favored

consider trying to over the 50 years china has been building up their strength and you can see the south china sea. without creating the vacuum or the force we really have to build up our structure. . . southwestern islands, they decided to build up and strengthen the power. and there are three things. the first is we have -- when there is any emergency or contingency here, new force will be injected and the force will be injected in order to eliminate the vacuum in the southwestern area in order to strengthen the deterrent. so those are the two ways to increase the deterrence. and the third stage, some island is taken. we have to retake it. so the new force for that purpose is created. so those are the phases in order to avoid and fill the gap of the vacuum of the southwestern islands in order to build up the defense peers of that program started four years ago and where in the fourth year so we are still in the -- this program has been underway steadily. >> in japan we are attempting >> >> but is in order to keep the status quo what do we need to do is that what japan needs? and as far as mariti
