southeast asia. his paper focuses on the association of southeast asian nations, evolution of japan strategy and what the us and japan can do to work better for southeast asia and us. officer obam from tokyo university of science received a degree from the university of japan and the university of tokyo. she received the incentive award, you will have to tell us what it is, and the develop of east asian regionalism. ozzie and political institutions, with economic institutions in the region and we will hear from my colleague, doctor amy seawright, publishing a scholar from stanford which focused on japan's role in the wto and regionalism and we will connect those two in her comments. the secretary of defense in southeast asia in the pentagon in 2014 and 2016 and taught at george washington, also served in the usaid and state department. i will ask each of the scholars from japan to get a couple key points and have a bit of a dialogue. our program has a break after 45 minutes, we made a command decisio

my sense is from a viewpoint of a researcher, japanese researcher of southeast asia, southeast asia needs a huge amount of money and china cannot afford to sort of finance that southeast asia needs. in this regard, the southeast asia also seeks other sources of support. in this regard, japan and the united states have great potential to fully, effectively sort of promote infrastructure development in the region. >> thank you for the question. as for the south korea issue, both countries, japan and south korea, the politization over the history has a very big power to shape the attitude of each other. i think so this is beyond the regional cooperation. it's a very big obstacle to cooperate with other, but on the other hand, now japan, china and south korea are trying to promote the free trade agreement among three countries in the total cooperation scheme. this is very interesting. so now japan, south korea and china already have a total cooperation scheme and the secondary actor is located in seoul. among the three countries now the more pragmatic cooperation are considered to be promoted

southeast asia. in this regard even when japan strongly promotes cooperation with southeast asia, how to cooperate with south korea also entering japan's storage and also with regard to the us-japan alliance, i think one of the key issues is how much you can cooperate in developing in implementing specific projects regarding infrastructure in relevant regions. my sense from a viewpoint of a japanese researcher, southeast asia needs a huge amount of money. india and china cannot afford the finance that southeast asia needs. in this regard, southeast asia also seeks sources of support. in this regard japan and the united states have great potential to effectively promote development in the region. >> for the south korea issue, japan and south korea, politicization has a very big power to shape the attitude toward each other and so this is beyond -- a very big obstacle to coverage with others and on the other hand japan, china and south korea are trying to promote free trade agreement among free countri

i think everybody sees southeast asia as a region of growth for the future.hort term, not for the next five years, it is going to be for the next few decades. that is the growth we want to help drive and lead and grow for the rest of the country. emily: we have seen many founding teams fall apart with blood on the floor. you guys seem to have a great working relationship. how do you maintain that? hooi ling: we have just had an amazing relationship because we share that foundational value system. we also share that passion and vision for what we believe we can contribute back to the region. we do know that it is unique, and hence, why we cherish and really it even more. at the same time, we also know that there are many more fortunate opportunities for other people to equally find the same passion, so we encourage it. we are helping back in the region. we have launched something called grab ventures velocity, an accelerated program to help other startups in the region who are trying to do good, trying to find scale, using our platform. using our partnership.

southeast asia, the riches of the disease were the great magnet. allies aspotential independent countries, could freedom begin to them? quickly, the japanese dream or the japanese claim of liberating east asia from western control was to replace russian control with japanese control and everyone receives a spot on the hierarchy of east asian solidarity. the japanese are the elder brother and everyone else took some other place. here and i mention mentioned in a previous talk, there was a serious effort by the japanese military and secret service to penetrate the nationalist movements and southeast asia. the japanese were in close contact with burma, the philippines and indonesia and india. all of them were very impressed with the people they were dealing with. several of those people would become leaders of their countries. worthy strategic alternatives japan missed? we may talk about this more at the end of our session. as he's to mention the of the japanese decision-making process. what was i trying to do? the people who engineered successful tak

, the japanese switched to the strategic defensive not only in burma, but also for the entire southeast asia area. and after they had done this, they were making this transition. while they were making this transition, the southern expeditionary army command which was in charge of all of the army units in southeast asia came up with a proposal to continue the offensive into india, into northeast india. the purpose of this operation to -- operation would be to cut that airlift, to interdict the airlift that was going over the himalayas and do this while the japanese still had the initiative. this proposal offensive out of burma into india was opposed by the army general staff. and the reason they opposed it was basically the army after they had completed what they called the southern operations or the occupation of southeast asia, the army general staff wanted to shift to strategic defensive for the entire area, draw some of their forces down and refocus on the on going war in china and get back to their preparations for war against the soviet union, which was their traditional hypothetical e

basically the army after they had completed what they called operations or the occupation of southeast asia, wanted toeneral staff shift to strategic defensive for the entire area, draw some of refocus ons down and the on going war in china and to their preparations for war against the soviet union traditional ir hypothetical enemy. hey were against any kind of continuation of the offensive into india. however, they couldn't it out either, and so either the general staff was reluctant about the idea, in august 1942 expeditionaryhern issues and y the continue to make plans for an operation. however, they said they would approval of the general staff to actually carry out the operation which they maybe vely scheduled for late october 1942. and they gave it the name 21.ration number now, this proposal which of an india by southern expeditionary army was opposed by the army staff and the men 15th army out, the and the division commanders underneath it. opposed it son they has to do with the geography of the area. i don't know how familiar you are with a map of the area, but burma and er between

wanted to introduce an amendment calling for efforts to avoid a direct military involvement in southeast asia. that itt told nelson was superfluous and the last thing they want. they dropped the amendment and the senate approved a resolution with only two dissenting. the house of representatives passed it unanimously. the language of the tonkin gulf resolution granted the president extraordinary latitude. according to the joint resolution the congress -- as commander in chief to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack into the united states and prevent further aggression. hero, stated my afterwards that to a virtually empty hall -- all his colleagues have gone home. we are in effect giving this president warmaking powers in the absence of a declaration of war. i believe this to be a historic mistake. against thed resolution said all of vietnam is not worth the life of a single american boy. johnson said of the resolution, 90, itike grandma's covers everything. they totally demolished barry goldwater on the foreign policy front. if the president was not an amateur at foreign poli

everyone was more interested in the 1950's, in eastern europe than they were in southeast asia.he theory was that these countries would fall one by one and all of ashay dominated the communism movement. they were hope to minimize the damage and carry on with other initiatives. susan: you recountedt in 1954, the french defeat changed everything. why did that change the policy so much? >> well, the vietnamese -- rather the french had been vietnam for a very long time. and in 1954, it was the first evidence that that movement wasn't working. so someone had to step in to address what was still seen as a very real risk of the advance of communism vietnam. and if the french were not to be there, then somebody had to. and they had to take that responsibility directly because that was that. our job was to preserve the world for democracy. so eisenhower did have to commit it. susan: during those first two presidents involved in policy, our commitment was in the form of military advisors. who were they advising? david: they were advising the south vietnamese army. after the division of vi

like korea and india are doing quite well and interestingly, the energy and materials sector in southeast asiaeuropean financial institutions are underperforming in asia, what must they do to maximise their investments in the region? the headline message i want to give is that the sector is quite bright in asia. companies need to be able to do in asia. companies need to be able todoa in asia. companies need to be able to do a couple of things simultaneously. they need to be able to maintain strength in their operational backbone while dynamically innovate to create large and small. let us have a look at asia pacific markets. all in positive territory. the nikkei all had gains on friday. sport today is coming up next. this is bbc news. the top stories this hour: prince harry says his decision to step back from royal duties and move his family to canada hasn't been ta ken lightly. hundreds of lebanese protesters have clashed with security forces in the centre of beirut, after three months of anti—establishment demonstrations. people accused of stalking are to be prevented from contacting or appr

i believe the economy is fairly good this year, so we would like to expand to asia more and southeast asia potential so much, so we would like to focus on asia more. haslinda: in asia, you're also looking to expand in india. what is the potential of that market? takeshi: huge potential. consumption of whiskey in the world is india, amazingly. we want to expand our put front -- our footprint. there is huge potential in india. we started to sell scotch whiskey five or six years ago, and now we entered into the business of indian whiskey. that is doing well at this moment. we want to expand in their usingy more and more, cressman ship. -- using craftsmanship from there. younger generations, they want to do something new. something new from japanese whiskey flavor and bourbon flavor. so those in the younger generations love something new, and we have something new.

this has spread from china the country as well as to southeast asia. united states the as well. in south korea, two on top of that. so in terms of the response, the world health organization has refrained from calling this a health emergency. no response from the chinese government yet, but we know they're interacting very closely with the world health organization, and they've sent experts to china to help monitor the situation. the w.h.o. has been criticized in the past for sounding the alarm too early, late,unding the alarm too especially in terms of the ebola crisis in 2014, so they've been careful to say that this could quickly go from a local crisis into a global one, and continuing to monitor the situation, and they could reconvene at a moment's their decisionge should the situation worsen. now, the death toll has increased to 18. there are hundreds of people infected, though. researchers say that number thousands.n the now, though most of the cases ave been mild in terms of the response to contracting the virus, they say that about one-fourth, this is according to the he

we have seen resurgence of diesels in almost all the regions of the world, europe, southeast asia, southrica. the fundamental reason why measles is back is low vaccine coverage with the measles vaccine. we have a very safe, effective measles vaccine. for various reasons, people are not getting the vaccine or are refusing to get the vaccine. measles, as i understand, was eliminated in the united states years ago, so why shouldn't they be allowed -- let me play doubles advocate. if they feel like measles should not be here, because it is gone, why would they get it? william: that is an important question. it has to do with what is meant by elimination. you are right. the united states had eliminated measles. the americas as a region, north and south america, had eliminated measles. but that does not mean there are no measles cases. we have a fairly precise definition of measles elimination. it refers to the fact that there is not continuous virus psych circulation for more than 12 months. but we do have sporadic outbreaks within the united states, despite having this illumination status. t

markets like the us and the uk, but elsewhere in the world, like indonesia and other places in southeast asialy skyrocketing. the reason growth is slowing is once you reach a saturation point account continue to grow. what's really interesting is we are still growing at 15% in the uk, 10% in the us, 50% in south korea, so those established markets where you think how much more can it go? three hours and a0 minutes of usage per day, as you say, that figure, i can only see that going up. that is the average. eye can only see this going up. what are we not doing as a result? and where is the money? it is in apps. completely. thanks for your time. fascinating. and thank you for your comments as well. we are asking you what apps are you want, what are you up what apps are you want, what are you up to, how much time do you spend on your smart phone, confess. up to, how much time do you spend on yoursmart phone, confess. hashtag bbc the briefing. a ban on children heading footballs could come into force in just a few weeks in scotland because of fears of a link between the sport and dementia. the sc

cases emerging in southeast asia, japan, that first case in the united states. you have the world health organization refraining from labeling this an international public health emergency at this moment, but the public health officials taking the decision were actually split on calling it that at this moment, so they are monitoring it very closely. they will be reconvening in 10 days or less. you also have wuhan essentially on lockdown. this is a city of 11 million people, more than the population of hong kong and new york, and you have surrounding municipalities also on travel lockdown, so you have more than 20 million people trying to be quarantined stop from travel, but there has been a lot of criticism about how effective this can be, given the fact that millions of people already fled and the fact that some health experts say at best, this is delaying the spread rather than stopping it. there are local reports of hospitals being overcrowded, people with fevers unable to see oftors, with the flood requests and also people posting on social media showing the

what you're talking about is emphasizing more southeast asia and then south asia, all the way over to the india/pakistan border where central command takes over, then having enough flexibility, capability, available funding, to move forces around on more temporary deployments, partnerships, exercises, all, the full range of activities. and you're thinking, as you've said, thailand, many of the south pacific island nations, vietnam, we'll come to all these in a second. that's really where your emphasis has been, is it fair to say, in broad terms? >> have a much more comprehensive disposition in the region, yes. >> i want to ask about military readiness in a broad sense. i know that with your responsibilities as secretary of the army, you're focused first and foremost on making sure the force is fully equipped with proper weaponry, proper training, good maintenance, the right people. and then you apply that, and combatant commanders and forward commanders exercise and use the capabilities that you've provided them. but you have to keep an eye on the way in which deployments to afghanist
