already, major rainfall in different parts of china and south—east asia has left a trail of destructions outside beijing. incredibly, no casualties were reported in the massive landslide, which followed heavy rain across china. transport links were cut and large areas waterlogged, as far south as guangdong province, where this car was rescued from a sinkhole that open up in the flooding. for parts of the country there is much more to come. after drenching the philippines, causing flash—floods and causing thousands to evacuate, tropical storm yagi is set to hit the east coast of china. it is due to make landfall south of shanghai. local media report more than 135,000 people have been evacuated, and authorities have warned residents to stay indoors. india, too, has been hit by exceptional monsoon rains. it is on high alert after flooding killed dozens of people, and forced tens of thousands more from their homes. state authorities were forced to open the floodgates of overflowing reservoirs. translation: we have faced destruction like never before in our state. the situation is so bad tha

our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, has been following this story from bangkok.criticism for a un report to come out and say there is no choice but to prosecute myanmar‘s top leadership for genocide is extraordinary. marzuki darusman is normally a very cautious man, that was quite extraordinary to hear that. this will put myanmar in a greater position of diplomatic isolation. there was a recommendation it should go to the international criminal court but that would require the un security council to refer myanmar and china will almost certainly reject that. they talked about other possible mechanisms, that has happened in the case of syria for independent recommendations were created to pursue human rights investigations into atrocity with the prospect of indictments later. that looks like the way they will go with myanmar, but the conclusion of this report brought together so many of the other news reports we heard over the last year, absolutely appalling human rights abuses, systematic organised destruction of an entire people. they have brought that together,

i think there is, in south east asia focus approach that choice with open eyes. it is just that some of the cases that leadership doesn't mind choosing domination because they benefited from it persuade -- personally at home. case,sort of harp on that it is one that is a winner in much of the region. dan: i would also comment that with china's economy really headed towards deep trouble, deep trouble over a long period of time, it would be less attractive. dan: in the back, russell. russell: a wonderful report, mike. i can't wait to dig is all of the details of this. i would like to push the panelists to focus a little more on the good governors aspects of do-pacificnd open in and especially because i think what i heard from mike and walter is your suggestion is that the u.s. approach to governance issues should be a democracy promotion, not to use it interchangeably, but should be selective and case-by-case. it seems to me that inconsistent application of the promotion is one of the troubles in terms of really being, having a robust policy towards asia which supp

rights violations are legitimised, and incitement to discrimination and violence facilitated. 0ur south east asia from bangkok. well, very strong criticism. where does it go? absolutely damning criticism. for a un report to come out and demand in effect, that to be no choice but to prosecute the top military leader for genocide is extraordinary. he is an indonesian lawyer who is normally extremely cautious and reticent. that was really quite extraordinary to hear that. this is going to put myanmar in an even greater position of diplomatic isolation. there was a recommendation it should go to the international criminal court. myanmar is not a signatory and would require big un security council to ta ke require big un security council to take action. china is a most certain to reject that. they did talk about other possible mechanisms. that is happening in the case of syria where an independent mechanism is created to pursue investigations into human rights atrocities in syria with the possibility of international prosecutions and indictments later on. that looks like way they will go with myanmar

if the united states of wished to protect laos or south east asia, mcmillan said, please go ahead. we won't criticize you at the u.n., but don't expect us to help you. this is what makes this meeting important and interesting, and tells you so much about why leaders matter, or individuals matter. kennedy refused to give up. he was not going to walk away. he sought to persuade the 67-year-old mcmillan to change his mind. how do we know this? because we have the british and the american versions. the british versions are a little bit more substantive of what was said to each other. he wanted mcmillan to accept that british military engagement in laos is necessary with the country falling apart was a strategic imperative for great britain. when you think about individuals in a summit, not that there might not be a summit soon involving individuals, you should think about the worldview they bring into the summit, that is if they have a worldview. mcmillan, who fought in world war i and had been seriously injured in a battle in 1916, hated war. mcmillan was thinking about wasted soldier

i believe the quad was born on december 26, 2004, which was the date of the great tsunami in south east asia, when the four countries that responded were india, australia, japan and the united states and we responded because we are like-minded. we saw the tragedy unfolding and felt compelled to act. we had capability to bring to bear in a quick, timely fashion, and we have the willingness to cooperate with one another. so in a way, it was born in reality and in operation, before it was born in concept. i think now we are talking about this as a potential vehicle for how we can address a range of our interests in the indo-pacific. i think we find general receptivity, particularly when talking about economic issues, developmental assistance and the like. but i think it will move in a pace and scope that all four are comfortable with, and sometimes it does. sometimes it's been japan, it's it has been others, sometimes it is in india. i think we will work through all that. if you stare at an iceberg, you don't necessarily see the movement but if you look away and looked back again, i can see qua

chipped away at every time a mexican comes across the border, every time someone comes from south asia or the middle east, suggests their vision of america is one that is only compatible with whiteness. the fact that there's a chunk of people who feel like to make america great again we have to kick out the mexicans, not allow people from the middle east or africa, that speaks to a clear conception of white supremacy. that kind of understanding of how america should work is directly tied to donald trump's campaign and definitely tied to his administration. that's why we keep bringing donald trump back into this, not because he calls all of it, but because his world view resonates with theirs and it only stokes the fire. >> dean, quickly, because i want to get to a happier note to end up this segment, when it comes to making progress and trying to break through with people who would agree with what we just heard laura ingraham say, what can be done? because some of these people have a genuine fear of "other." >> they do. that's the hardest thing. it's palpable, that's real. they say muslims are going to b

you see for example with the south china sea to the military harassment of the southeast asia nations and they have leverage and restrict the exports as leverage of the east china sea. to stop on the south china sea fights. you can see the threats to deny access even further if they do speak in support of the chinese unfair practices. with u.s. citizen living in the united states of america not in china a united states citizen fired by marriott hotels because of a social media post that china complained about. that happened and you see it most recently by american and united airlines told to change how they describe taiwan of their website or they cannot be allowed to continue to fly to china. the tactic they use is not sweeping changes but slow incremental and assertive demands. over timees we see they establish a new normal. it is very much like the example of the frog in the boiling pot of water. it jumps out right away if it's boiling if you put in the cold pot of water to slowly boil it it doesn't even know it is boiling. that is what is china is doing to the united states into the world. the only thing they respond to. there are only two things when

some of the kinds of questions that you do not really get as a white male who is interested in east asia, or south asian and so forth, you are given the freedom to have whatever interest you want. as a minority you are often asked why you are interested in this. as a professor at georgetown, lots of minority students will ask me and after a lot of hemming and hauling and getting to the crux of their question, how do you justify to people why you are doing european affairs because i want to do it too, but i am latino and i'm told i need to be focused on things that affect my community. in your research, what insights have you gotten in terms of some of the bias the track individuals within a certain space, and how do you handle that? how does that affect mentoring? i find whatever kind of organization i work in, i have worked in a lot of different ones, often times the problem is not necessary getting people in. it is how do you promote them, how do you advance them when they feel as though there will not be a them later on? it is often a vicious circle where folks don't mentor because they think f
