engagement with southeast asia. think many southeast asian states, vietnam included, don't like the fact that you know they are sort of secondary they're instrumental to a larger u.s. interests elsewhere. and so to be able to maintain and nurture that cooperation the u.s. has to emphasize that the relationship has a quality of its own. and certainly i think regional states like vietnam have an interest in further engagement. dareen: how much of a difficult balance? i mean cooperating with washington but at the same time as has been alluded to without upsetting beijing? chong ja: it's going to be difficult beijing as many people have seen have been pretty briskly recently so that's the importance of not upsetting beijing but i would also throw in that there's is a certain domestic element governments that are in disputes with the prc. vietnam looms large here. they have a domestic sentiment that i think will punish their leaders if they seem to be caving in so working with the u.s. is one way to square that . there a

southeast asia is one place to look. there's also the pacific islands is another region i think south korea has taken an interest in, in recent years which is not been on the radar. this just about security alone in these projects are about mitigating climate change. it's about infrastructure investment. this is not just defense. it's not just the ministry of defense at the agencies. they are all involved as well too. i do not know within the different projects where they might put priorities. certainly i think closer to home is where south korea should be placing its emphasis. >> it's interesting south korea has moved for the indo pacific region in terms of its focus. it is not just about insecurities increasing in the region because in china. as of course economic interest rate but south korea has limited assets that can share in terms of knowledge and experience. cooperation at the different members would like to work or example vaccines in public health. given rias relative and well acquainted success in managing cul

southeast asia's one place to look.it also the pacific islands is another region that i think south korea has taken an interest in in recent years which have not been on the radar. this includes us not just about security as kathy mitchard. a lot of these projects are about mitigating climate change. it's a infrastructureje investment. this isn't just the defense. it's not just the ministry of defense but the agencies, they are all involved as well. i don't know where, within the different projects what you might put priorities, butdi certainly i think closer to home is where south korea should be placing its emphasis. >> can i who also add south kors move towards the end of pacific region of its focus, it's not just about insecurities increasing in the region because of china. of course as image and economic interests but also south korea has a lot of assets that it can churn terms of knowledge and experience. another area of cooperation that the different members would like to work on is, for example, vaccines and pub

the heat ways being filled all across south and southeast asia, bangladesh is capital darker, reached temperatures of 42 degrees celsius hotter than its been in decade. not so bad for those who can afford to retreat and doors into the air conditioning, but potentially life threatening those that count while millions across the region, the feeling the heat. there's little governments can do knowing exactly re a wonderful population is. and how do i create measures that reviews and mitigate the impact of a heat wave on them is actually quite difficult to do in rural india, average temperatures a 5 degrees higher than usual for this time of year. agricultural workers have little choice when it comes to working under the glare of the sun, and even if they can find somewhere to shelter their land is baking. it is again a present though the temperatures have gone up considerably in recent years. earlier, it would never go above $37.00 degrees celsius. now it goes up to $45.00 degrees. the heat is extremely harsh. i bodies d hydrogenated only to water. and so do my crops. the heat is so bad

so i think those names automatically fall in place. southeast asia is oh, i think the hall of southeast asia is a potential customer for liberal most open system. we take, pardon, lot of these exhibitions. well our aero in b i and if it def, explore itself is a large exhibitionism themselves. but we do take part in many of the southeast asia in defects. suppose we are going to militia for the lum covey, international matter. diamond aviation, short or end of next month, we will be of visiting thailand for their de fixable o. philippines, of course, is always that we were in jakarta recently for the aid excel, vo, indonesia. we do go to ali's exhibition suits automatically shows that we are interested in them. and obviously they would be interested in looking at our system . we are still the best, but we are working at being even better. that is one. so the current missile system is being improved in terms of its performance and capabilities. but we are already on the drawing board for what we call the brambles, next generation, a smaller assail, exactly the same in terms of we're oppera

high temperatures have been recorded across southeast asia, china and other parts of the continent. in india, schools and several states have been closed and the temperature in thailand has stopped 45 degrees for the 1st time. so the chang reports from bangkok, o ripple is in bangkok, celebrate the tie new year with water fights, a tradition amongst the beginning of the rainy season. but this year brought reco temperatures. 45.4 degrees celsius, a new high, even for a country, customs to hot weather. outside the grand palace, a temporary rest buy from the heat for the birds and lots of umbrellas, but not a drop of rain in sight. i think it is a little bit hot there this year is very hot this time of the year. anyway. they're brand new season will come in a month or so, but this period is hot. they're down to rainy season. the heat ways being filled all across south and southeast asia, bangladesh is capital dark, are reached temperatures of 42 degrees celsius hotter than its been in decades. not so bad for those who can afford to retreat and doors into the air conditioning, but poten

record high temperatures have been recorded and are predicted across southeast asia, china, and other parts of the continent. sciences say these hot spells are becoming harsher and more frequent due to climate change, or monday, more than a 100 chinese weather stations broke april temperature records with a higher 42.4 degrees in the southeastern city of young young. as almost double china's average april high of 20 degrees authorities and parts of india have shut schools after a week of temperatures of more than 40 degrees there. the average high and april is usually 33 degrees. darker in bangladesh recorded. it's hottest day, in almost 60 years of 40.6 degrees, that several degrees hotter than the usual april high when seasonal rains are expected. and temperatures and thailand of top 45 degrees for the 1st time in its history with 45.4 degrees recorded in the western province of tac usual on the usual high at this time of years around 3720 change reports from bangkok ah, ripple as in bangkok celebrate the ty, new year, with water fights, a tradition that marks the beginning of the r

record high temperatures have been recorded and are predicted across southeast asia, china and other parts of the continent. health officials and thailand, urging people to stay at home to avoid heat stroke. temperatures topping 45 degrees for the 1st time in its history. the european parliament has approved a bound on imports linked to deforestation. the landmark legislation applies to coffee beef soil, palm oil, and wood. companies that sell goods in the european union will have to prove their products when not grown on land, deforested after 2020. the moves already fog fears, backlash from some countries malaysia and indonesia accused in new blocking market access for their palm oil. tony's authorities say they've detained 12 people in connection with a fire at a hospital in beijing. at least 29 people died, most of them elderly patients, jessica washington reports and the chinese capital aah! imaging people resort to extreme measures. to escape the fire that engulfed a private hospital. some climbed out of the windows using bed sheets as ropes, others balanced on air conditioning

so therefore i think for various reasons all of southeast asia continues to be very exciting for thisexciting for this landscape-— be very exciting for this landscae. ., .,, ., landscape. on fast fashion there has _ landscape. on fast fashion there has been _ landscape. on fast fashion there has been so - landscape. on fast fashion there has been so much i there has been so much criticism when it comes to environmental concerns, the fact that it is not the right way to be selling products to consumers given the amount of resources that it takes up. what are you trying to do to address this? we what are you trying to do to address this?— address this? we take this responsibility _ address this? we take this responsibility really - responsibility really seriously, so whether it is fashion as an industry, i think we see there are three strategic pillars that need to be addressed so whether it is a planet action, whether it is ethical and fair outsourcing, creating conscious consumption. we are working on all three. we have published a very clear strategy that reaches all the way to 2025

, southeast asia. and i think down that that's what we've seen. we've seen in terms of their calculation of best for them in the short term pursuing a military option in these later conflicts works for them. it gets to something that i haven't mentioned, which i think is central to understanding. certainly the war in vietnam, but also these later interventions, which is that i think it has a lot to do with domestic politics and maybe democrat in particular being nervous about being tarred with the soft on communism or later soft on terrorism label and in domestic political terms and in careerist terms. let's not underestimate the importance of playing old careerism, making these commitments, even if you're saying something else behind closed doors matters, which is i guess a way of saying, dan, that maybe we haven't learned, maybe we haven't learned that much or. maybe it's really about leadership and we'll come back that. thank you, phil. most everyone knows, i think about your first book, which certa

of turkey, the ukrainian legislature will use them and move to other countries further away, southeast asiaca and others, and look at one more question of mr. taras, but i don’t know, maybe these are secret numbers, i just don’t know. and how much did agriculture give last war year in the budget, how many billions of dollars, what figure can be counted on and will it be the same figure this year or will we lose due to various restrictions, we see in europe there is friction, we see turkey and so on and so on we see a decrease in the actual possibility to plant in some plant products and let's say that this year will be worse than last year. is it better or how are there several aspects here , the first of which was the contribution of ukrainian agriculture to our macroeconomics. dollars and it was 53% of all exports, that is, it still invested quite a lot this year, we now see that even the share of agro has increased by more than 60% of foreign currency earnings - this is agricultural production, the next factor of last year unfortunately, these areas were already reduced, that is, already

that was southeast asia correspondence jonathan that was southeast asia correspondencejonathan head. thank correspondencejonathan head. thank you for your insights. let's recap some important news from around the world this week. 21—year—old jack teixeira appeared in court in boston today. the us airman is accused of leaking confidential intelligence and defense documents on the online chat platform discord. he faces the prospects of years in prison. the leaks embarrassed washington, exposing some spying on allies and crucial details on russia's war in ukraine that could impact future counteroffensive. and us presidentjoe biden toured the republic of ireland and northern ireland this week in whirlwind trip to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. while there, biden emphasised the importance of peace in the region, and spent time connecting to his family's roots. joining me live to discuss these stories is former us acting assistant secretary of state susan thornton, and dave lawler, who is the world news editor at axios. great to see you both and have you on th

so i think those names automatically fall in please southeast asia is oh, i think the whole of southeast asia is a potential customer for them. was that the system we take part in a lot of these exhibitions in b, i and they fixed itself is not just submissions and cells. when we do take part in many of the southeast asian defects posts, we are going to militia for the lunk of the international metadata. and a recent short end of next month, we will be visiting thailand for their fix for the philippines, of course is always that we were in jakarta recently for the index of indonesia. so we do go to all these exhibition since automatically shows that we are interested in them. and obviously they would be interested in looking at those stuff. we are still the best, but we are working at being even better. that is one. so the current missile system is being improved in terms of its performance and capabilities. but we are already on the drawing board for what we call the most next generation. a small on the same exactly the same in terms of operations, manager least so that you'll be able to

-- ambitious plans for southeast asia's second largest economy. >> the more i campaign on thehe more i understand that this election is about people looking for new -- a new face and a new future. people are really thinking about the inequality of the country, whether it is a choice between profit and progress. haslinda: you said that you can secure 100 seats, are you still is confident? what is driving that? >> we have delivered. we have proven to people our worth, having us as a member of parliament to speak on behalf, to try to past progressive laws, such as marriage inequality, liquor -- military conscription, to d materialize -- demitilai -- d materialize thai politics. we want to challenge the status quo that people have been fed up with. people are thinking about the last decade for the past 10 years that was under the military. definitely i am more confident that more than 100 seats will be possible in this election for our party. haslinda: let's talk priorities. this is an economy that is struggling, lagging behind the philippines, growing at 7%, thailand is growing a

you are not going to be able to sustain growth in southeast asia, other parts of the emerging market,e u.s. or europe are slowing. exports will not be a driver for china. china's policy makers need to look at domestic demand and not just consumer spending, but also infrastructure investment and housing. it is all about maintaining policy accommodation. manus: have just been covering tim cook's arrival in india. as you look at the biggest threats to the unambitious target of 5%, the taiwan conflict with united states, but perhaps more malevolent is the on shoring story. how big a risk is that? frederic: it is a risk, but i wouldn't overstate that. it is clearly investment moving to southeast asia, investment moving even to india and isis like mexico and back to the u.s. and europe. on the whole, we still see very strong foreign investment into china. china is a domestically driven economy. the big drag on their growth will be where than a mastic story plays out. that shoring is a marginal drag, but it will not be something that knocks china off course. a lot of the investment that goes

alexander is studying the countries of southeast asia, my sofadrynik.r with him we are studying the wanderer of east asia activists san and the chairman of the club, southeast asia is kind, always sympathetic ready for any event, an excellent organizer, and also learn chinese. alexander how about somewhere and how many people in russia can speak fluently, for example, in vietnamese in vietnamese? i think a very small amount, if we are not talking about native speakers about the vietnamese themselves. well , i think there is. no, i think more. well , maybe 1,000 somewhere. well, this is a serious figure, it’s already good alexandra, i ask alena milena milena excuse me milena, she’s not quite an orientalist with us. she is africanist and theophis studies african countries and the ethiopian language also plays in kvn and goes in for sports , he is called anastasia, she studies the culture of the middle east, hebrew-gibraist sings in the academic choir, moscow state university, a very beautiful musical girl with good hearing and voice. your turkic languages

and what year would you're actually living in southeast asia. busy what you're actually living in the. ready middle east is. busy is actually banking the way that it should be now that it should be done with real assets with, with real prospects of. ready growth and with opportunities and innovation, etc. absolutely. but the global financial system is fully interconnected. so if there's a ripple effect can happen. but you're absolutely right. this time there is a huge difference between the banking system in the united states or the euro area, relative to those countries in which there's been no to start with. the 1st thing that those, none of those countries have had to do was create an artificial bubble through negative rates, real rates and nominal, where rates were actually positive. so by the way, because they pay the currencies, they have to keep up with money printing. exactly where to keep up with the money printing, but at least they keep up with the money printing in a sense of away now we're just to understand that. but the price of r

what are the chances of moscow getting new allies in southeast asia?sia hardly has a chance to strengthen its position anywhere in the world at the moment. the mention of syria is just hmm. frankly, it is ridiculous because syria is not is a state in the full sense of the word, it is essentially a regime controlled from the outside, including by russia, with the participation of the early ones, and the series is unfortunately in a very difficult state at the moment i had some reliable ally. well, the diagnosis is the diagnosis. thank you very much. i apologize, but unfortunately we no longer have time. thank you for joining the broadcast. pay attention to the video from bakhmut shared by ukrainian border guards, in particular, the situation is shown by our colleague and now a military journalist , levkostek . yes, so far, it is very difficult to see for yourself, it is very difficult , but we drive what we need to do. it will come out too. more precisely, it was restored half an hour after 1000. recently, representatives of the wagner pvc have publicly

scholars and human rights activists across southeast asia.we will lead to your piece "myanmar military's acts of terrorism from the sky & savage beheadings on the ground." next up, the philippines were thousands of u.s. latino and australian troops are holding the largest military drills ever despite chinese protest. stay with us. ♪♪ [music break] amy: "one minute of silence" ericson acosta, renato reyes, jr., monet silvestre. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. nearly 18,000 troops from the united states and the philippines and australia are taking part in the largest ever military drills they held in the south china sea. the military exercise began on tuesday and will continue until april 28. this comes as tension is escalating between the u.s. and china. the philippines, a former u.s. colony, recently agreed to give the united states access to four more of its military bases, including two located in the northern province of cagayan which is about 250 miles from taiwan. ties between washingt

s. presence in southeast asia. has to do with, you know, creating a sense that the bilateral relationships, the multilateral relationships in southeast asia matter in and of themselves. they are not just derivative of the p r c. and they're not just derivative of competition with the p r c. and i think that's something that regional states will sort of take some, some heart from, i think, the less this is part of the lesson from past us engagement with se, asia, i think many se, in states, vietnam included, don't like the fact that, you know, they are sort of secondary, their instrumental to larger us interest elsewhere. and so to be able to maintain and nurture that cooperation, the u. s. has to emphasize that the relationship has a quality of its own. and certainly, i think regional states like vietnam have an interest and further engagement. and they have right now how much of a difficult balancing act as this and cooperating with washington at the same time as has been alluded to without upsetting beijing. so i

year and next with south asia expect to go faster than other regions. growth and east asia and southeast asia is benefiting from increased domestic demand and growth in the pacific from returning taurus. inflation is gradually coming down to pre pet damage levels. the be forecasting the rate for developing asia at 3.3 percent in 2024. now, earlier i spoke to albert park, the asian development banks, chief economist, and i asked him why the region is economically out growing other parts of the world . well, i think asia is putting the pandemic behind it and returning to normal rates of growth, which are even higher than what we're projecting which is 4.8 percent growth both this year and next year. a lot of that is driven by the recovery in china as china is moved away from it's 0 code policy. our projection is that china will grow at 5 percent this year and 4.5 percent next year. in addition, india, which is the 2nd largest economy in the region, we expect to grow robustly at 6.4 percent this year, and 6.7 percent next year on the back of very healthy consumption demand and rising investments

and between the sco and asean, an association of southeast asia. so here is such a network of cross contacts of cross links, it is already being formed, and i am convinced that these processes will make it possible to translate. contacts are already in achieving real practical material benefits for all involved. eh, these eh these processes. as for the second part of the question. uh, are we afraid of interaction between, uh, western countries, whether it be the us or the eu with our neighbors, if we are talking really, eh interaction equal mutually beneficial transparent, carried out in accordance with international law, no one can have any fears, but if we are talking about the fact that instead of interaction on the principles that i understood, western countries will try to deal with threats of blackmail will force our allies to undermine relations with the russian federation a to the detriment of their own national interest. well, of course, we will not hide our attitude to such attempts, and our kazakh friends, others our partners and breeds

, southeast asia. and i think down that that's what we've seen. we've seen in terms of their calculation of best for them in the short term pursuing a military option in these later conflicts works for them. it gets to something that i haven't mentioned, which i think is central to understanding. certainly the war in vietnam, but also these later interventions, which is that i think it has a lot to do with domestic politics and maybe democrat in particular being nervous about being tarred with the soft on communism or later soft on terrorism label and in domestic political terms and in careerist terms. let's not underestimate the importance of playing old careerism, making these commitments, even if you're saying something else behind closed doors matters, which is i guess a way of saying, dan, that maybe we haven't learned, maybe we haven't learned that much or. maybe it's really about leadership and we'll come back that. thank you, phil. most everyone knows, i think about your first book, which certa

integrated economic systems not just between the united states and china but then looking at southeast asia, the number one trading partner for all of these southeast asian countries is china. so one of the things that i see for vietnam. so i'm going go in tianjin, but i will answer your question about the us policy is that know the vietnamese have to figure out vietnam's policy towards china. you know, right now what you is cambodia, laos and thailand is tilting towards china. vietnam, indonesia, others. no, not so much. and in fact i would say probably the number one ally to the united states is either vietnam or singapore. this point. and so one of the things that i think vietnam has that even singapore doesn't have to worry is how china can look around vietnamese party politics in, ways that the way they would do, how they muck around and singaporean politics is more disinformation. what they're basically in other regions of the world, in other countries. but for vietnam think it's much more direct. so you have potentially on the ground mass protests and demonstrations anti-chinese. wha
