southeast asia lies at the heart of the indo pacific region, less arguably southeast asia and maritime domain. are areas where the concept are most challenged. southeast asia we can therefore as much to gain from the successful advancement of our vision and our strategy. while the us has recognized the importance of southeast asia as evidenced by our security partnerships and alliances with the philippines, thailand, singapore, our interests are growing alongside the growth and importance of the region as a whole, particularly the security and economic aspects . so as a result, we are increasing our meaningful engagement with southeast asia so let me address the ods role. secretary mattis is committed to this region, visiting the indo pacific region seven times as secretary of defense, or times that southeast asia. he also believes in a strong investment in institutions such as the oregon defense ministers meeting plus, the 80+. he's a particular focus for the department and right now currently the united states is cochairing an expert level working group on humanitarian affairs and ha

in a week ireland will be back on the hunt in southeast asia and we agreed to meet again there as it is also time for me to frame my first visit to the countries that go through it. and hopefully the point that i see in the water. desperate for a better life millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams of sanctuary are realized but sometimes disenchantment drive them home. in the second of two films on these contrasting experiences people and power meets the returning migrants now determined to discourage others from following the same problems to gambia back home on al-jazeera. when people need to be heard. but this being the refugio muslim is lawyer it's not a normal life. and the story needs to be told we do stories that have an interest that i testify in the court of law to make sure that the bad guys behind al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new documentaries and live news on air and online . one of the best healthcare systems in the world model of. trust with local doctors as the gatekeepers we have really good continuity of care people while

southeast asia depend significant and china. and then of course there are equities.se equities have always been rather frothy, or unstable. it is a terribly volatile situation. we saw a lot of stocks tanking in 2015 should investors be worried about there? the majority of investors are retail investors, making it almost unique in the world. for the forces around the world, institutional investors are more savvy and the most important. so they expect a 1—way bet in china and when they do not that they bail. so will the chinese government intervene like they did in 2015? that did not do well either. i think there would be relu cta nt to well either. i think there would be reluctant to do that. i am personally optimistic in the medium term for the chinese to exchange to be because of the size of the chinese market and growth in gdp. this is a temporary blip. i expect that the trade war will be resolved. the curious thing is that this is a huge own goalfor the us. if you slap tariffs on things being imported, it passes on people pay more for it. in other business news, t
