in the philippines. the philippines was also a possession of of spain and the united states thought that it was important to defeat spain, not just in cuba, but along its crumbling empire. so assistant secretary of the navy theodore roosevelt, gives the order to commodore george dewey, who is in charge of the asiatic squadron in hong kong, to move his ships to manila. and then he defeats the spanish flotilla. so here in this painting that we have behind us, we see the as yet the the asiatic squadron defeating the spanish flotilla, which is all in disarray and smoking in the background. as you can see. so let's go into cuba now and find out what happened there. this gentleman has quite a presence. tell me about him. yeah, well, that is to say, marty, in a portrait by artist miranda de niro, who was a cuban artist, who in the 1940. so posthumously after a long after marty had died, was one of the main responsible artists to cement the image of marty in cuban art history. he created many, many portraits of

now that could come to the philippines to train with feel of being troops and in a similar way, philippine troops would now be able to visit japan and train with japanese troops. now the 2 countries have had very strong relationship for many years now. and now the elevating of course, their military ties with japan, providing the philippines with radar systems and the philippines, new west coast guard vessels. and all this, of course, in the face of what both countries say is the drawing a certain, if this off china, in the south china sea. so here is the reaction, though that's concerning both these countries as that, which is why they've decided to have this meeting. and they will be perhaps also watching with interest was the meeting is over as to what sort of reaction they get from the neighbors. right. well, washington will likely be pleased with disagreement given that both japan and the philippines are treaty allies of the just states and washington has been building up its alliances in the region. but china will also be closely watching this growing alliance between japan and, and

so, so i handled this, i mean the philippines has already dialing it down. what it is could last for the foreseeable future. i'm not very sure about it, but at least for now, it looks like every site is trying to find some sort of common ground. that would, that said, looking ahead, do you think there is a real risk of war between the philippines and china? i will absolutely wear a skirt to those 2 that i mean just a few weeks ago as slipping the service men lost his finger and the beat, the big into philippines was weather dot should be the ground for invoking mutual defense for do with the united states. because, you know, on one hand, you can say that, you know, the mutual advanced really going on can only apply if an arm that's not happened. but it's also not only about what trying to use this is also about the consequences of trying as aggressive activity. so even if trying to has an use armed at the top, it has use very aggressive invitation tactics and, and, and other kinds of, of forms of, of, of all invitations. i guess if it'd be so, not long ago, t

second thomas scholl is just off the coast of the philippines in the south china sea, in the philippines they call it the west philippine sea. it is inside their economic zone and the debate between the line and the claimant's on that particular scholl. this is about sovereignty for the philippines and the challenge to the sovereignty by the prc. this ship that has been beached has a number of filipino service members and one way the philippines maintains that sovereignty is by saying -- staying on that particular scholl. that is emblematic of the others because there are eight other shoals off the coast of the philippines in the same situation. it is important when we think about sovereignty and the indo pacific, not letting this be a flashpoint that it is emblematic of things that could happen if we don't pay attention. >> does the defense treaty you signed with the philippines require the u.s. to come to the philippines aid if the chinese continue harassing their ships and may be single one of their ships or kill some of their service members? >> as politicians work through that, ther

yes. japan and the philippines have signed a key defense packed, allowing the deployment of troops on each other soil. 80 years after the philippines was liberated from a brutal japanese occupation, the 2 sides have come together in the face of rising chinese power. the philippines is seeking more support from his allies following a series of classes with chinese vessels in disputed parts of the south china sea to promoting a route of steven id is professor of politics international studies at the international christian university of tokyo. he told me more about the significance of this defense pact. it's very much terry. i think 1st off, it's not our lines, but it's an agreement to cooperate on joint training, the positioning of troops and supplies in the philippines as well as being able to welcome our filipino soldiers in japan again for training and to put supplies their 2nd. i think it's really important that it does demonstrate that depends committed to a piece of security and stability in the south, tennessee, by working with partners like the philippines to help them build th

so why does the pentagon still apologized to the philippines? ago the united states created four new military bases on the territory of this republic. once again emphasizing that the philippines is one of the main us allies in the indo-pacific region. it’s not difficult to guess who the main opponent is. olga ponomareva, lead. let's translate from clerical to understandable, everything is not so scary if there are instructions. the central bank increased the key rate by two percentage points at once, now it is 18%. tightening monetary policy is caused, as the central bank has repeatedly noted, by overheating of the economy and high inflation rates, and the strength of overheating is comparable to

against the philippines neighbors like taiwan. it might mean a lot more in the way of economic measures. right now beijing can do this with impunity. why is beijing targeting this island to begin with? it is about trying to discredit the united states. it is a dress rehearsal for taiwan. they are doing it on a tiny model of taiwan which is this little island called second thomas shoal show -- second thomas shoal that is not because most of the world semi-conductors. that is not by itself a major geo-strategically important spot. what they are doing is try to demonstrate they can blockade, create a sense of futility and discredit the idea the united states is going to help not only the philippines but by extension taiwan. the philippines is a mutual defense treaty ally to the united states. we don't have a formal alliance with taiwan. beijing can basically demonstrate we are feckless over this little rock in the west philippine sea. it sends a pretty dire message about taiwan's situation. i think as i said in my opening remarks, bei

and in manila hold another two plus two other counterparts from the philippines. very proud of america's historic achievements with these great alleys over the past three and half years. it is amazing with the united states, japan, and the philippines have done together and just the past six months. with a japan we have made significant improvements to our force to posture. we've also worked more closely than ever with the republic of korea. i am proud that minister and i will sit down and tokyo with a trilateral defense ministerial. the first ever to be held in japan or the rok. all of this just underscores the new convergence in the indo pacific that i talked about in singapore last month. we are not to strengthen our bilateral alliances we are seeing original partners come together like never before around our shared vision of a free, open, and secure indo pacific. so it is going to be a great trip we are going to deliver it more. with that i will turn over too general brown. quick thank you secretary often. good morning everyone. on a warm october day in 1937

in the philippines they called the west philippine sea. and it is really about, it is inside their economic zone and the debate between the line and claimant's on that particular. this is about sovereignty for the philippines and they challenge that sovereignty by the prc. and, this ship that is there that has been reached actually has a number of filipino service members in 110 -- one way they maintain that is staying there. there are nine -- excuse me, but others similarly off the coast of the philippines in the same situation. it's important when you start thinking about sovereignty. not letting this be a flashpoint it is emblematic of things that could happen if we don't pay attention. >> does a mutual defense treaty that you signed with the philippines required the u.s. to come to philippines aid at the chinese continue harassing their ships? maybe even she —-dash think one of their ships or kill one of their service members? >> as we work through the defense, and our support to philippines continues. part of the conversation i had whe

benjamin netanyahu was addressed to congress on heavy rain photographs plots of land slides in the philippines of type boon, back to some areas beginning of the year. as far as the president come to harrison's hip, the campaign trail just 2 days off and drove by and drop town and endorsed her to replace them in november's election. she's held that 1st so rally in wisconsin, a swing state that's crucial for both democrats and republicans from milwaukee. it's been live else so you can keep tamela harris away from wisconsin at the moment . but something's changed since the vice president last visited him. the crowd all smiles as they prepared for the breaking news. everybody's been expecting and i am told as of this morning that we have earned the support of the mess delegates to secure the security result show as be fits of the visit. snipe is on the roof on the roads, blocked a few, trump supposes, but they were drowned out by those calling for an end is rails will on gauze, and israel zone is the out across the street. nobody really taking any notice because there was only one person that you

well, china and the philippines are also working on reducing their tensions of the south china sea. michael, but take you out. this is a senior advisor of the center for humanitarian dialogue. and i asked them how that's been reflected at this summit. i think the timing of the summit coincided with um a, a deal that was basically an agreement that was made between china and the philippines just in the last week or so that is kind of significantly reduced the level of tension in and around. so i can tell the show which would become a significant flash point, not just between the philippines in china, but potentially between the us and china. the agreement, the details of which we're not really quite sure of was made at the diplomatic level and appears to have worked in the sense that there was the supply mission to the, the, um, the feature, the symmetric feature which the philippines has beach, the landing ship which wasn't interrupted by the chinese, which wasn't the case a few weeks ago. so all this is well, time for the summit, in the sense that china and the philippines appear t

so i can tell the show which would become a significant flash point, not just between the philippines in china, but potentially between the us and china. the agreement, the details of which we're not really quite sure of was made at the diplomatic level and appears to have worked in the sense that there was the supply emission to the, the, um, the feature, the symmetric feature which the philippines has beach, the landing ship which wasn't interrupted by the chinese, which wasn't the case a few weeks ago. so all this is well, time for the summit, in the sense that china and the philippines appear to have managed to reduce the tensions between them. well, also, notably, the russian foreign minister as a gala for off was at the summit as well. and we know that he did not speak directly to his us counterpart. there were, they were at least in the same room. is this symbolic in any way as well? what i think is interesting is that some a sin members are using law problems presents. we use lab roles presence together with tony thinking to remind the united states in particular that in addit

in the philippines they called the west philippine sea. it is really about, it is inside their economic zone and the debate between the line and claimant's on that particular. this is about sovereignty for the philippines and they challenge that sovereignty by the prc. and, this ship that is there that has been reached actually has a number of filipino service members in 110 -- one way they maintain that is staying there. there are nine -- excuse me, but others similarly off the coast of the philippines in the same situation. it's important when you start thinking about sovereignty. not letting this be a flashpoint it is emblematic of things that could happen if we don't pay attention. >> does a mutual defense treaty that you signed with the philippines required the u.s. to come to philippines aid at the chinese continue harassing their ships? maybe even she —-dash think one of their ships or kill one of their service members? >> as we work through the defense, and our support to philippines continues. part of the conversation i had when i

and of course, this is the philippine capital, so it is a very major concern. just last year there was a major oil spill south of manila in the province of min. darl, where a tanker with 800000 meters of industrial fuel cap size, then it took 3 months to clean up that oil spill. so this is really going to be a major problem if that oil spill is not contain and reach us. manila layer guerrera is the, is from the green piece in the philippines. she says, communities along the affected areas of the spell will be affected for a long time to come. the oil spills uh, really live uh, leaves um, permanent damage to the marine environment and to communities that depend on a healthy marine environment. so even if, for example, on all still has been declared clear um there are uh portions of the sea um, which never really recover a lot of uh, cleaning. and the clearing that the see are, are really the visible uh, effects the visible signs of this bill. um, but a lot of it is happening under the water um, where these chemicals are effecting marine life and so forth. um, and

with the philippines. china has its own issues with india, as in scott, wind from 20. yes, things have been relatively quiet with vietnam. but in the past, there were certainly a high tension and even conflict with vietnam. so i do think that the history of the region is certainly replete with great powers behaving in a way that creates the impressions of threats and concern. so i do not think it's particularly productive uh to sideline these concerns altogether and blame it entirely on the united states. because i do think one very important piece of concern for everyone in the region is agency and autonomy. and the need to define and defend its own interest in its own concerns. i do think we should not be assigning a particular motive to other countries like the united states and others as if these regional countries do not have their own agency and autonomy. and evan, and we only have about a minute and a half left. but let me just ask you, is all of this going to allow the us to further strengthen relationships with other allies in the region? i think the allies par

after the decades of the dramatic ordeal, the philippines was finally able to achieve independence. the yeah, they said 50, do my new phone. so in the community the bought the eggman sort of and me go ahead was shooting and they had the that the meant the one level of law tab on the horrible stolen when the said to the had been washed in the eyes of my outside of my nice to mamma lity. glinda maneesha, some of the been a lot of with the lender had of to be with you and i think the him good include last year and give me the enough. seems a did you way? i did send it to the he receive and then a going to the school, the sort of the both of us will and that is maybe why do i should in the last and admin pulls with us with well, hey, i'm going to to imagine the mob on then the kind of deliberate matches of the how the layer so when i measure it only to the, to the end we had many attempts just in the new, i mean go we, it will. so you can live with me. uh, comes out the pin fee genetic lease, uh your new home. so the $10.00 fee come with the same of interest to waive ownership or how lat

or in what be seen in terms of its alliance with the, with japan, south korea and the philippines. so it is certainly in the minds of policy makers in the region and among us allies. that regardless of who becomes the new president, we need to institutionalize as much as we could as the best we could. so that whoever comes next uh, wouldn't be able to change all of these things. uh, just because he or she would like to. and this brings us to the issue of, of kamala harris. i do think that she will likely bring in some of the veteran foreign policy hands, whether in the state department or the defense department, and likely those who are familiar with asia as well. so there's some expand if kamala wins, i think we would like to see perhaps a lot more continuity with abided ministration. and yet i do think the tone and style perhaps might be a bit different. i think the reality of the regional secured is that such that some of the momentum that we see on the us l, i, side of things, may not tearing into the non us alliance part of the security relationship, particularly in countries i

after the decades of the dramatic ordeal, the philippines was finally able to achieve the independence. the i've wanted to come here since i was 121 my grandfather told me his mom came from russia, but we were, i was part russian. i didn't plan on staying this long. i was gonna look around, i was gonna see if it was for me. i like it. maybe i'll look at some properties. come back in a few more years after i'm retired and then just finish out life in russia. but then i came and then i was like, i remember when i go home, that's how i felt about rush. i love it. i love it so much here that i don't even want to leave. i just want to travel around rush, i have no desire to go to any other country. the i've never been here in russia.

which is why last week i traveled to the philippines and japan. meet with key leaders and strengthen multilateral relationships. i had the opportunity to meet my counterpart and other officials in the philippines and we held a historic meeting of the republic of korea and japan in tokyo, the first ever meeting in northeast asia. it is critical to maintaining stability in the indo pacific encounter growing influence by the prc. in route to the region i also visited the ted stephen center for security studies. the dod regional center their addresses strategic implications ofmi current emerging architecte the department of defense released at 2024 strategy this past monday. that strategy lays out the steps that we will take to safeguard the ark, defending our homeland and keeping the region stable and secure. it must be intentionally thought there today to determine what capability and capacity will be needed in the future. within the ark or the indo pacific regions, or in africa, navigating creates challenges depending on integrating and collaborati

after causing havoc and killing 12 people in the philippines. the tropical storm is then forecast to move towards southern china on thursday. let's get more on this from dw correspondent james trader in taipei. james, what's the general feeling there? asked the storm approaches as well. michael, we understand that there's already been one desk reported in the southern positive one, the southern city of gal showing this is now the strongest time for you to be on this down in some eighty's, maybe a decade. this is hip taiwan we did choose to make land for the northeast pond to taiwan, lisa this evening. um the atmosphere, you know, most places of shots have been shots. davis has been a kind of national arrives and from city governments and the central government service through the streets on most of the cities have been fairly quiet, but really no sense of panic. this is something that the majority of time and these people use to that is a bit more of a concern about the central mounts and this pond to tie. one of those are the eastern part of tai

here in the philippines. leave it there for the moment, but thanks so much for joining us to the jefferson to out from green based southeast asia. thanks so much. thank. give to bundle. there's next. wherever restrictions are being lifted off the weeks a violent protests. so what a cool system for civil service jobs students claim the cortez in discriminate? i'm sorry. and the scholars of the dispute and reasons for it. i'll state a role. it appears to be business as usual in the bangladesh capital doc, the temporary lifting of a curfew as the live people back on the street. but the scars of last week's anti government protests can still be found. like here i bind to the dash of state television channels. the building was burned down during the week long demonstrations with the information minister, blaming the opposition for instigating the protesters using the students. i've done it. so that's what the decide to say. we can sense our invasion off a 3rd party who got into it and started attacking the governme

he joins us live from manila in the philippines. so bottom me, what exactly are you hearing about this oil spill? all right, so a tankard carrying 1400000 leaders of industrial fuel sank off the coast of but the on early hours of but thursday now, but the on is just in the northern philippines, just 5 a 5 hour drive from manila and according to the surviving crew members, 16 of them, 16 out of 17 thing calendared, rob c conditions. and that is why the tanker capsized now. this information just in from the philippine coast guard, they quickly launched a search and rescue mission after they received me day from the crew. and now this just in the they have found the body of the missing crew members. so all crew members now counted for unfortunately that last crew member to 70 who member has died, but there is another major concern. now, this location is technically just off many other b. s you mention. so it's not too far from manila, and the philippine coast guard has already spotted an oil slick that's about 2 nautical miles from wher

within the philippines exclusive because of its own areas, the philippines, plains. and just trying to find out is there a as 6 bodies have been found that luxury hotel room in thailand's capital, bangkok, the victims of old getting the means nationals to have jewel american citizenship authorities of opening an investigation into the incident as a wait for the top 2 results, wayne, hey, has more metallic up. this is the hotel with the 6 bodies were discovered earlier on tuesday, police confirming that the bodies were found inside just one hotel room. they've also confirmed that they were all foreign nationals, 4 of them, vietnamese, and to the means americans. and they had been in thailand for just a few days. they also believe that the bodies had been inside the room for around 24 hours before they were discovered by a hotel look up. they say there was no sign of any struggle inside the room and no sign of any wounds on the bodies. and then not ruling out that this was a case of poisoning, but they will wait for the results of autopsies and toxicology reports. well,

the information from the philippine coast guard about this oil tanker. rd has found the body of, sorry, the fishermen that were thought to be missing on the ship. i should say the sailors. we didn't know before, they were not specifying whether they were not specifying whether they thought the ship had been impacted by the typhoon. it seems now the coast guard is suggesting this has come as a result of those wild and choppy waters we have been seeing as a result is the typhoon that did not make landfall in the philippines, but still had a big impact before shifting up and picking up strength and making landfall over taiwan over the last 24 landfall over taiwan over the last 2a hours. landfall over taiwan over the last 24 hours. ~ ., i. , landfall over taiwan over the last 24 hours. ~ ., ,., 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact _ 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact this _ 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact this typhoon - 24 hours. what can you tell us about the latest impact this typhoon has i the la

i mean, the ship sank as type of gave me was barely across the philippine seat. it's crow survived, but are being investigated for not reporting the incident. the coast guard has deployed to vessels and says the leaks have been stuff us. between those white coast guard ships and the blue vessel. that's where a 2nd sanker sank last week. it's so close to the store. we can see it clearly with the naked dye. now of the documents, so it's tanks were empty, coast guard divers say it appears it's carrying cargo. fuel authorities hope the fuel that sleep from the smaller vessel will eventually dissipate in the heat. as their focus remains on, containing 1500000 leaders of cargo fuel from another tank right nearby. we have a good progress along the wayne and then yeah, yada. and that she did not then you'll uh, my boss and that is very important from $2.00 per minute. uh, on the 1st uh, uh, di, uh, david sardino, my child were not in a blue one. the 3rd for our. but the concern is that the spill may have started to drift away towards towns closer to the capital, many less

the united states won the war against spain and gain control of the philippines. the people of the philippines held that the americans would help over throw spanish rule and grand independence through the country. but the united states was by no means willing to give freedom to the philippines and side as just another colony. 1999. the filipinos began armed resistance to the new, occupying the american troops were barely able to occupy the territory of the philippine republic. but that patriot started a desperate guerrilla war, washington was forced, as in new reinforcements and triple the number of its troops on the islands. the u . s. army suffered heavy losses. the americans took 8 out of the population, general jacob smith, in revenge for the gorilla attack on the garrison in the city of bile on ega. porter to kill everyone over 10 years old. the monstrous gulf of terror, according to the most conservative estimates lead to the death of about 200000 philippine notes. the americans manage to suppress the gorillas only 14 years after the beginning of the war. but

a tie soon, tammy has left a trail of destruction and several deaths across the philippines. and taiwan. torrential rains have cost severe flooding. residents in the southern city of calcium scrambled to salvage their belongings, as flood water inundated their homes. it's the strongest tropical storm to hit taiwan and 8 years. now the ty, food is battering mainland china is eastern for john province with strong winds in torrential rain. fixing this home is preparations for the deluge were already well underway and food. yeah. the national marine forecasts are issued. it's 1st red alert of the year plots on the it's the latest storm in a summer of unrelenting weather extremes in china. i want to bring in now monford designs and he is with green piece. mr. johnson is good to have you with this. what are your colleagues in the philippines? what are they telling you about this oil spill? yes. hello, good evening. uh, yeah. what our colleagues say is that, uh, this oil spill could be one of the biggest best uh, we know in the philippine since many, many years. it's almost 1500000 i
