ak, australia, great britain and the united states, they are pulling up the largest country in southeast asiangest army, and they are pulling up precisely on anti-chinese positions, and thus already two countries of southeast asia, the philippines, and indonesia, to one degree or another, will participate in military construction in this region, that is , in fact, the americans are splitting asean and the new most important countries are pulling them towards yourself if. it doesn’t seem to match anymore, why? yes , because it does not correspond to their interests, because modi clearly stands for traditional indian politics, when, so to speak, indian interests come first, everything else is unimportant, but they also strive to drag india into this matter, that is there is a very active process going on, while at the same time they are putting pressure on china; yesterday another philippine caravan moved towards this unfortunate ship from yaromadra. just encountered the chinese and the filipinos turned back, the chinese, as always, gave a 10,000 warning, they said that this was impossible, tha

since the polls, he has unveiled ambitious plans for southeast asia's largest economy. convinced they can be achieved. our business reporter joao da silva has more. it's confirmed, indonesia's defence minister prabowo subianto will be taking the reins of southeast asia's largest economy from october. under his predecessor's business—friendly economic agenda, the country has been growing at an annual rate of 5%. it has become a darling of emerging market investors, and a major note in the global electric supply chain, due to the country's nickel reserves. but prabowo has bigger ambitions, and he believes 8% annual growth is achievable within the next five years. to meet that target analysts say deep structural reforms need to be made. lifting growth to 8% from 5% will take more than the fiscal handouts that president prabowo has promised in his campaign, and a few rate cuts from the central bank. the reason why indonesia is caught in its 5% growth trap are structural bottlenecks. currently it lags is asean peers, both in terms of manufacturing productivity as well as lab

given that the southeast asia australia summit is designed away for which powers across the region fromesia, and vietnam can come together to find consensus over issues that will be affecting them over the next four years or so. annabelle: for these asean countries is there and assumption that australia has its own foreign policy or is it seen as an extension of what the white house wants? ben: there has been a real shift since the election of a centerleft neighbor government -- labour government in may 2022. until then leaders saw australia as a follower of u.s. foreign policy. but since the election of prime minister albanese there's been more of a shift of positioning australia as a middle power alongside other middle powers in southeast asia. it's a degree of independent foreign policy more effective in blaring -- bringing the block together to advocate issues that are important like open ceilings -- open sea lanes and peace in the region, things along those lines. there has been a shift to subtlety in diplomacy in recent years. haidi: what about the shift we have seen from the alba

they told organisers of the taylor swift concert not to hold any other shows in southeast asia.ss conference. the singaporean government neither denied or confirmed the solidarity clause, but did say that the actual amount was nowhere near that price. but has singapore gone above and beyond to get the taylor mania all to itself? looking at the scene all week in singapore, as you can see in these images, one can easily think so, but swifties are loving it. and, you know, everyone here, you know, even if they're not watching the concert, they still, you know, experienced and enjoyed it. so i do think these activations actually really emphasise that she's actually in singapore because like, it's getting real. so it's like this feeling of like it's getting real. it's getting serious. well, as you can expect, overseas fans have paid a heavy price to be part of the event. our team in singapore has collected a few testimonies, including one from a chinese tourists who said she spent over $900 in flights alone to be at the event. but it seems that there is clearly no bad blood between t

and that is exactly what our mistake was in southeast asia. the question that i raised, i think at the beginning, i don't know if you agree with this, but i've grown up. i'm a child of the vietnam war. i think you've sure to we all are who are over a certain age we, when i watch the media cover, vietnam and iraq at a lot of our conflagrations, i get the sense they're afraid to admit what happened there. such a gloss over it, like it was like, you know, oh yeah. rock no, we evaded the country. we shouldn't even be vietnam barber as actions that we did there. and we should explain these things so we don't do them again. we don't do that now and rick, you know, i've said a number of times in interviews and i think it bears repeating. i remember sitting in on a secure video teleconference chaired by vice president dick cheney the day before we invaded iraq. and i remember one of the senior directors at the national security council saying, as soon as we cross that border, they're going to throw flowers at us. mm hm. and i went back to my office an

and in particular, i want to return again to east, southeast asia, where very interesting processes continue, in particular, blinken, you know, came to the philippines on the 18th-19th, conducted negotiations there, said that relations with the philippines are ironclad, and moreover, he said that philippine claims are not only national in nature, but global in nature, and clearly, completely said that we will support the philippines in all situations, in general he gave the assurance that this philippine aggressive, in general, course that leads to escalation, it continued, in parallel with this, the americans began simply a grandiose military construction throughout almost all of eastern southeast asia. they are building a new base in japan, they are building a new one there base on tinyan for 400 million dollars, base on guam is being rebuilt for 800 million dollars. and they are building them on tenyaan, they say , so that if there is an attack on guam, they will have a base on tenyaan. they are even building new bases, there on the island of yaab, in palau, for what this is all being don

at others, it plunges through steep. gorgeous to meet home is the long sign of southeast asia . it's a transport route for millions of people bringing work and food to many countries. it flows from china threw me on my louse thailand, to cambodia and vietnam to the south china sea. it's one of the longest rivers in the wells. the. we're on a journey through northern allows us to explore the landscapes and experience the laid back laotian way of life. the time in a small village on the meek, on river lives, 50 year old, suck up twice a day. he takes his whole fishing boat out onto the river of a 1200 different species of fish live in the me call, making it one of the most species rich imminent walters on the us. so i've been fishing here for over 20 years now. i moved to the village as a young man to live with my wife. i learned how to fish from the old, a man in the village, how long the fishing is now my main source of income loss. i also work as a teacher at the elementary school in the village. if i could either put flashing, it's what i like to do the most. well, i lost the

in vietnam, a mobile operator in countries throughout southeast asia, in latin america and north africaide their operation. so, they are forming alliances with japanese and u.s. companies for the possibility of offering an open ran solution globally. and having manufacturing base in vietnam to support that enterprise. they're adding a business line. they're building economic development locally and benefitting from innovation from japanese and u.s. industry partners. so, again, it's a specific kind of arrangement that we can offer ther example where local talent is able to produce the in necessary not only to the largest market in the world, but also globally. and so, the conversation changes country to country depending on local circumstances. gx >> i do want to kind of ask more about that, because i think in the grander discussion around ict, it really -- it can sometimes be seen within the context of this is just another continuation of u.s.-china rivalry in the intti u.s. tryind partners and allies to work and compete with huawei, which is unfairly supported by its own government. i

southeast asia we have a few the countries are our target countries, now let's put aside china, whichan independent issue. we have a very special program with vietnam . there has been an increase of more than 70% in our relations with vietnam. we are activating the joint commission. it's good that it happened again. vietnam is one of our good destinations that we can grow with . we are doing this. bangladesh, which is now a combination of south and southeast asia. in his opinion again, we had very good relations with him. just last week , the 8th trade ministers' meeting was held in bangladesh . we had very good talks with the bangladesh side for the revival of the trade agreement, his preference for holding a joint commission for the issue of frequency, for the issue of establishing banking financial relations for establishing customs and maritime relations, which i think will soon, god willing, if they become operational , we can grow very well there. according to the statistics of international institutions, southeast asian countries are among the regions with the fastest economic

our southeast asia correspondent jonathan has the details. it is the first time in this region any government has come so close to passing the law, giving completely equal rights to marriage. something lgbtq q plus groups have been campaigning for for a very long time. they have come close to it before. it has been years and years of campaigning. tylan has a very open and accepting attitude toward lgbtq, but the law has always been the hardest to get over. we believe the law has now passed 399 votes-10. that leaves only the upper house with the appointed senate to approve it, which we believe is essentially a formality, and the law is likely to be enacted by the end of the year. people living in same-sex relationships, this is enormously important. it is not just about having formal official recognition of the partnerships, their marriages, but also inheritances, properties, power of attorney when your partner may be incapacitated, the marital tax benefits, and in particular for children, to give them a right for parents legally and as recogn

markets in order to restore their... that the only region for which they can cling - this is southeast asia are skaldo-tehokian , you understand, there is a core, and there is a periphery , the indo-pacific region is this periphery, and the core, which will be completely american , is southeast asia, but it doesn’t work out any other way, because the key problem, everyone got used to it, well, they took marcos junior to prison in the philippines, so the americans took control of the country. they took it politically, and the goods that the filipinos buy there, chinese, must be american, but they are not, and will not be, because in order to someone invested in the usa in the production of goods, this investor needs to be explained who will buy these goods, in the usa they buy chinese in the philippines they buy chinese and chinese will always be cheaper and... it’s not clear what to do with this, that is, this can only be done with extremely tough forces, that is, it is necessary to close the region to chinese goods, this is a very difficult problem and it is not clear how it can be solved,

the impact these dams have had upstream on major rivers that are shared by many countries in southeast asiaing at the moment and let me use the example of the local river basin, an extremely important basin, an important river, the lifeblood for southeast asia as many would say. we are seeing hydropower dams not onlyjust financed from china having a real impact on the ecosystems and also on the river flows itself. currently there are around 160 dams on the basin and 13 dams on the river mainstream. hundreds more are currently being planned or under construction. a good number of these located upstream, which is being driven forward by china. it is the case we are seeing droughts becoming much more severe, also seen floods becoming much more severe and this is causing very real impact for communities living alongside the river downstream in south east asia.— in south east asia. thank you so much _ in south east asia. thank you so much for— in south east asia. thank you so much forjoining _ in south east asia. thank you so much forjoining us - in south east asia. thank you so much forjoining

well, >> singapore is >> neighboring governments in southeast asia are not happy. in fact, they were upset amid allegations at singapore paid up to $3 a show for this exclusive arrangement for taylor swift and her era's tour. and today we heard from singapore's culture minister, he addressed the controversy to parliament seeing that the grant is not as high as speculated. now, let's give you the background. what's been happening here. so last week, we heard from a lawmaker in the philippines, he called on his country to put the pressure on singapore to get an explanation. this is what we heard from joey so sadow, he said, quote, this isn't what good neighbors du, and he goes on to say, it was at the expense of neighboring countries, which could not attract their own foreign concert-goers and whose fans had to go to singapore unquote. now the allegations they were made earlier by the thai prime minister and he made them at a business form, a band called earlier in february very and he said that singapore pay taylor swift up to 3 million per show allegedly on conditi

and so in southeast asia, when cambodia started to get into the captive bred primate business. uh it was something we paid attention to closely. because cambodia is a center or point of wildlife trafficking that's been well known it's, it's a global problems. it's a big dollar problem and it's going to be difficult to solve to learn more about the company accused of smuggling endangered, was mechanics to the us. we traveled to forsyth province in the west of cambodia, where the secret video was spent. viney by a research breeds and exports in the gaps for biomedical research. they are reportedly tens of thousands of look at the 99 acre farm, with the facility stopped. exports of to cry was arrested. the company refused requests for an interview outside the facility. we need a former employee who agrees to speak with us and don and mislead lines. a comp time comes. why a walk? yeah. which is fine. so you don't go back to you or you went to the wall for a moment. i inquired. news, why are we not for all my life you so i'm going to platinum, toyota. ok? 95. you know? you're coming

southeast asia but i think it's clear generally speaking in this animal that we call the global south you. that's a great way to tackle that i think difficult question around thisminology. >> i was hoping that you give us the -- make news and use the terminology that we can use going forward but we are stuck with global south for now. building on that i wanted to ask michael bill was starting to talk a little bit about china shifting interests and relations with members of the global south and what it means for china's influence there. >> yeah, thanks. as we've already mentioned china likes to see itself as -- represent itself, this is another developing country poor country that was a victimwestern imperialism and shared experience andd interest. the chinese economy is only a than the entire rest of the global south combined and china is becoming dominant player within the emerging world. for many countries the global south, china is trading partner. china is the largest bilateral predator low-income countries and many cases the largest. in the old days when i was in college, i won't

you can see them in southeast asia so why should we not buy them right?eir own interest, their most important if interests in technology and so on are, in fact, with the global north. and that is true of countries at the top. india is a very important member of the global south. it's an important member of the non-aligned movement, but there is interests aligned with china. i don't think so. indonesia, some of their interests align with china but not. in fact, i think there are two things that have become more and more evident over the last 10 is years -- 10 years at least in my part of the year. one is a growing awareness that in order to deal with either a china or the united states effectively, you have to deal with both simultaneously. secondly, there a -- [inaudible] that we have concerns about both. certain aspects of chinese behavior ask and certain aspects of american behavior. .. nobody is going to light up all interest across all domains in one direction or another. and that since there is a new world orderits anymore.ny there is energy create i

ukraine, israel and the countries of southeast asia.s was reported by several american mass media at once, with reference to sources in the highest legislative body of the usa. according to published information, the speaker of the house of representatives, republican mike johnson, has even begun discussing this plan with colleagues. in this document, ukraine is still offered to allocate less money by more than 10. less than in the draft law, which already passed all the necessary procedures in the senate, instead of 60 billion, they want to transfer a little more than 47 billion to us. not only is he constantly delaying putting this project to a vote in the house of representatives, he is constantly inventing something, then he proposed one bill, then he divided up to... aid to ukraine, israel and southeast asia, well in the end we will agree, even the bill passed through the senate, no, now he continues to carry out the order, most likely from donald trump in order to drag, and this process with the alternative draft law is planned to

let's get more now from our southeast asia correspondent jonathan head.tart with the timing of the event, normally this happens during the day, but this time it was held in the evening? i have been to a few of these armed forces day parade for and they all start early in the morning. it they all start early in the morning-— they all start early in the morning. they all start early in the mornin:. ., , ., morning. it has not been moved to the evening _ morning. it has not been moved to the evening in _ morning. it has not been moved to the evening in living - to the evening in living memory. they say it was because of the heat. usually have to get up in the unwanted to get there. it started because it is there. it started because it is the coolest time of day. i don't think anyone thinks that is the reason. it could be superstition but could very well be fear of some kind of attack. the effectiveness of the armed opposition has grown to the point where even in the military zone citadel and capital they have their own special military zone. they may not hav

marriage. equality been if ratified, in the senate to thailand would become the 1st nation in southeast asia to recognize same sex marriages that my bill has been more than a decade. in the making, 400 members of the house of representatives gave their approval with jeff 10 voting against the committee that drafted it. said little may cuz we're making history in thailand and transforming the lives of l. g. b t q people, and call upon. but yeah, for those who have been waiting for same sex marriage, we only have one step block, which has to be approved by the senate. got laid off, then you will have the right to register to be married. the rights you have been denied in the past and, and today when we, the majority of members of parliament have voted to approve it. i mean, i think in tough you can the woods, men and women and husband and wife to be replaced by woods equivalent to persons and spouses in the countries. legal code thailand has long been seen as a haven for l. g, b, g to people from all over the world. the amendments will give same sex couples access to the legal, financial and m

in my opinion, there will be tsunamis in southeast asia in september-october this year. or some otheratural disasters, not too large-scale in the philippines , the number of victims from a strong tropical storm has increased, heavy rains killed 45 people and inundated much of rural madanao island, where flood landslides damaged nearly 500 homes. there is a high probability that catastrophic natural events in north america, including fires, will have something to do with the element of heat. the area of ​​raging forest fires in canada has exceeded 16 million hectares. at the moment , 1,087 forest fires were recorded in the country, of which 714 are not under control. april, may, june, but everything will be under control, there won’t be any uncontrolled processes, now there is a short pause immediately after the live broadcast, important dates in this critical year 2024, what will happen, get ready to write down. an eternally young wonderful festival , with it we welcomed the thaw and perestroika, with it we spent the velvet season on the shores of the black sea, russia again opens its

very opportunely about such a pro-western , in fact, one of the most pro-western countries - southeast asia in relation to the conflict in gaze - this is outright hypocrisy, in relation to notaniyahu - this is outright hypocrisy, so the world is starting from, in my opinion , straight up cheated even there. also hypocrisy, this is our garden, we do what we want, we have no moral authorities, who means someone appeared, but how did he have the right, how did a person who is generally associated with the western world have the right to dare point out something to the representatives of the western world, whom no one actually elected, if you suddenly realized, that is, did they kick dad out of heaven, or kicked him out of the garden? he actually said that nato is not just pursuing an aggressive policy towards russia, nato is pursuing a policy towards. history, because people who have no correlation in their heads with their words with their deeds and other words, these are precisely the people who organize very big wars, unplanned wars, yes, where resources are calculated, where they say, no,

, an active policy in the direction of war, it is more realistic, because the events in east, southeast asiathe philippines , japan, the united states, we see aucos, we see... the formation of a new military bloc, which japan, south korea, the united states, that is, the mass of all kinds of military blocs that they are creating, is literally today now a very interesting osian summit is taking place with australia, while the australians , you know, this is how the philippines acted as a proxy ally and carried out american policy, the formation of military blocs, a military bloc, as if taking the main efforts, now... said , what do we say, well, there is a green economy, there are a lot of other topics, but the main topic is maritime security issues, and he says that these security issues are under threat, because a certain country is conducting completely provocative, there is aggressiveness there and such actions clearly mean china; moreover, australia has now announced that it will give asia 186 million dollars for military construction, first of all. business went to indonesia , talked wi
