is the beating heart of the global economy and the south and east asian economies that are at the heart of great power competition so if you pivot to asia you pull the gulf with you in tow plane in a certain sense and you can always back away entirely and leave a vacuum or open the door for further chinese encroachment but that carries its own costs the other thing is that there is a downside for the united states to burden sharing it's great except that yemen is kind of exhibit a in what burden sharing can look like you say well you guys take care of it and saudis go ahead and intervene in yemen and now the united states doesn't like the way that looks and i mean i think for very good reasons but the point is there is a mixed message here which is you do it no no don't do it your way do it our way but you do it ultimately doesn't fit together very well and i think a balance still has yet to be struck here ok douglas one of the key components of miniature positioning for decades was basically the presence of military bases that's where you would send troops equipment what pens bracing for what could happen next could that also become ob

, when developing countries or countries in the global south, when we are asking for support, whether it is asia, africa, latin america, middle easte are not asking for charity. we are simply saying, let's recognize the history of this problem that europe, north america, other countries built economy on dirty energy. now we are saying to poor countries, no, you cannot do the same. we are saying, you cannot make the same mistakes the rich countries have made. therefore, we are not asking for charity. what we are asking is for redress asking for basically rich countries to pay their climate debt. it is clear statistics are clear in terms of historical omissions and so on. at the bottom line is, this is not an act of charity in two ways. one, it is doing the right thing. but also, it is in the self-interest of rich countries -- unless rich countries and poor countries get it in their heads now that we get it right as rich and poor countries acting together which might secure -- and i say "might." let me be clear. we are acting so late, it is a question about whethern fact we can avert catastrophic climate change. that is the spirit i

south east asian leaders injakarta to discuss the crisis. jonathan head reports. there aren't many places where the burmese coup leader, accused of genocide and crimes against humanity gets a welcome. his invitation to meet other southeast asia start a dialogue which might help end the crisis in myanmar. however, asean's failure to consult the parallel government formed by mps from last november's election in myanmar, is drawing plenty of criticism. they have sent the wrong message for asean. giving an impression that is approving of people who hold power illegally or unlawfully. the meeting concluded with five demands, all apparently accepted by the myanmar delegation. the leaders called for the violence to stop and negotiations to start between the military and the opposition. for political prisoners to be released and for more humanitarian aid channels into myanmar and a special asean envoy to be appointed. translation: it is beyond our expectation, that is not to say we weren't confident but we did not expect this meeting would go well, our proposals would be accepted, the myanmar general in his response did not reject them. and this is very encouraging progress. 0fficials insist that the meeting did not confer any forma

south east asian leaders injakarta to discuss the crisis. jonathan head reports. there aren't many places where the burmese coup leader, accused of genocide and crimes against humanity gets a welcome. the invitation to meet other southeast asiacontroversial. they have argued they have to meet him to start a dialogue which might help end the crisis in myanmar. expectation of asean summits must always be pitched low. however, asean's failure to consult the parallel government formed by mps from last november's election in myanmar, is drawing plenty of criticism. they have sent their wrong message for asean. you give an impression that is meeting with people who hold power illegally or unlawfully. asean said it does not confer recognition of the military regime in myanmar. however, the extraordinary defiance shown by so much of the burmese population presents asean with a crisis it is ill—equipped to address. a member state lurching towards a wider civil war and where those in power have used shocking violence to impose their rule. it's a crisis which cries out for a bold and decisive action. something that people in this region have learned never to expect of asean. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. regulators in the us have c

the south korean president's approval rating at public lows after anger over housing prices. we are joined by the senior associate for north east asiat to have you with us. looking like conservatives are leading in both cities. what would losing these two seets mean for -- seats mean for president moon? >> that is the real test, visited? -- isn't it? these are the two biggest cities in korea. the fact that it represents a big part of the economy is a big blow for president moon. there is the presidential election next march and this is seen as a bellwether test on whether his party will be able to win next year or not. he himself would not be up for election because the president does not go beyond 15 year term but if his party, the democratic party does not do well in this election, it bodes very ill for the party moving forward in the presidential election. shery: the seats were vacated because of the predecessors being accused of sexual harassment. how has this election become a women's rights issue and how has that changed the debate this time around? shihoko: of course, first and foremost in everyone's mind is the economy. econ

east asia. at the same time our corral ice and partners in the region -- that's japan, australia, south korea, taiwan -- have basically flat defense budgets since 2020. or compare it with our own military spending. as i mentioned on the floor a couple of weeks ago, at the same time china was adding $200 billion to their defense budget, ours was shrunk by $400 billion. we're certainly not provoking them to defense investment. we barely touched our force posture in the western pacific over the past two decades. so if anything, our lack of action, our lack of investment is what is provoking china into thinking they can push around and threaten our friends in the region. the biden administration says that they want to take allies and partners seriously, so we should listen when they say that they are concerned about chinese aggression. now -- and they are. and the administration knows this. i've had visits with the president p he's fully aware of that. another progressive talking point is that the united states spends more on defense than the next 10 or 12 countries combined. now, that's not true. the re
