u. k. and the u. s, the sort of, you know, impose or at least maintain their influence in that area. how do you think china will see? do you think they'll see it? is that the parent basically, is anyone really willing to escalate pensions over tie one? well, let's hope that it does that no one goes out of their way to necessarily promote the other party because there is no purpose served by a conflict, whether it be in the taiwan strait or in the east tennessee of the south china. the reality is over the last several years, she jane pings china has in essence jettisoned the time honored tradition of the chinese are biding their time in essence and keeping a low profile. she james, china has been aggressive on all fronts, whether it's economic little or military. and frankly, the chinese government has used economic torsion to such an extent against so many different democracy. ringback that now democracies are starting to band together in common cause because a common interest in common values to oppose these aggressive moves by the chinese receipt. i know calling a national security

yankee zation coming from germany and poland against lucca shinkel in bella, rues, beller. ruth has to contend with its own issues is sanctions from the u. k. and the u. s. against the bell russian. people that have been very cruel and now is what we are in lucas. shank goes state and you want to stay full sanction and walk us in wage hybrid. ready wars don't expect any type of cooperation on our behalf. well, and that's the thing, you know, there is more, i feel like sometimes there is more anger and i was just talking about the present situation. obviously what's going on, fella roost, but also other countries. there's angers at countries who are trying to stop a legal poa and united states for from illegals, or those migrate from crossing to the borders. there's more than that than that, the anger at the corrupt governments causing people to actually want to leave. so why do you think should be better for global pressure? we used to put that kind of pressure on crow leadership in government and cause those governments to change so that people might not want to leave their home countries in math. you know, i think there's a lot this friday, for exampl

who's a former c i officer who's accidentally ran over a brochure teenager, and then was allowed to leave the u. k. and the u. s. is just refused to entertain an extension request for 2 different requests from the u. k. so sulphur instate can do that. i'm run the big scandals in this case really is that it's ever been allowed to come to court. and i think in a different political situation where you haven't had a post breaks that conservative party with a small, small majority feelings. honorable was him to appease donald trump's united states . i just don't think we would have seen this case comes to my opinion. sure. and of course, in the last few months we have seen a number of revelations in the case come to light. one of the big ones, obviously a key witness apparently lying in a testimony with somebody to jeopardize the whole prosecution case. also those alleged plans to bother you to kidnap or even assassinate children, songs very strong mitigations. there that's been getting very little attention, isn't it? why do you think that's the case given bass and front of the to the case? well, of those 2 things

the way towards those fathers from paris. to day we're taking another historic step to deepen and formalize cooperation among all 3 of our nations, the u. k. australia and the u. s. will be joined even more closely together, reflecting the measure of trust between us i was sitting in it's a huge disappointment, especially since 5 years of hard work went into this to ensure the proper implementation and smith running of this major contract. the contract was to fulfill australia's request for a 12 conventional attack submarines to reiterate that it was they request. so st rarely has gone back on his word and changed his needs. the thought to now jo ann alliance means transparency. it means predictability. it means clarification. it means talking to each other, not hiding, especially on a central issues. so all this has not been forthcoming, and we will have to talk about it. why wasn't it forthcoming? it was quite the day for both presidents before this meeting at the french embassy in the vatican for a manual marconas. the news coming out of france concerning a disgraced right wing. a been politician who's accused of having being behind, trying to organize a cou

the orchestra submarine deal that recently went through cutting out france from a $1000000000.00 submarine deal. and instead doing a deal to supply nuclear submarines provided by the u. k. australia and the u. s. and france was left very much embarrassed and out of pocket by that. now the question is whether it's that can all be brushed over. you would have thought that the black and white is, are they entitled to a license these french boats? yes or no? it's relatively simple if they can prove they which pitching in those waters before breakfast their entitled to a license. similarly, the boat that is where lexia is in the off, it does appear that the british now rather grudgingly admit that it didn't have the proper paperwork to be fishing where it was. so it's surely perfectly admissible for the french to impound it. the question is, how we go into, how are they going to calm this all down so that, that can be some kind of resolution. and there isn't really a clear path. yes. as to how this is all going to be made to calm down. certainly plenty of moving parts to this dispute. thank you for the update. hope and, and they live for us in london. okay. and a change of pace. it's time now for

and we spoke with a pack long, long senior lecturer and politics have bought the university in the u. k. and he thinks the u. s. administration needs to be more realistic when it views its rivalry with china, economically and technology equally. china is obviously on the rise, also east military, but checked the snot and it's polity, but it's already the 2nd largest in the. well, the us are this proportion, they slee the new tree spending east, the largest, and i don't think china is going to catch up here for sean. however, the united states, economic and technology 10 on logical capability, east tree in decline. we cannot just so say that why not us and china sit down and make peace with each other and have a half and all, i think this is too naive. you got to be realistic in the only option would have for, for the global committees to managed them. yeah. so that where, where one is rising, the other one is declining, that they don't a full blown but the war? yeah. this is, this is what we can do. yeah. i feel to come in the program here one r t cove. it might be a disaster globally, but it certainly put som

the u. k. and very recently the u. s. and so, you know, any kind of infection on civilian leadership also sort of flies in the face of the international support. okay. that has been given to sit down recently, put a limit, it's got a final thought from you. okay, so we've spoken about the pro military part of that dynamic. what could this mean and for the pro democracy protest movement you've been calling for the completion of the transition to food civilian room? i mean though, that should be despondency and appointments. i think from supporters of president of the, you know, it's a 1000000000 transition and elections and in 2023 potentially the beginning of 10 to 24. the question is now what, what sort of steps could they take to impress upon the military? to what extent they are again, it's not because we don't know yet what the minutes will do because the merger has been actually very, very quiet. since since around the 16th of october or so, suddenly it has been very quiet since the pro democracy mass. but democracy p

the u. s. and u. k. are only adding fuel to the fire. the u. s. is similar to these other countries and that they're all coordinating their central bank policies, and they are all living in this dream world where you can print money forever and have no consequences. when you print trillions and trillions of dollars, it ends up increasing prices. the purchasing power of the money is going to decrease, so everything will cost more if you're using fee money. this is an experiment that goes back to 1971 when the world went on. if the money standard, and now for 40 years, we've been living in this experiment. and now in 2020 wanted the experiment is blowing up on our faces. purchasing power for fee money is going down. that means that prices for stop are going to go up. and now people are getting hurt by it. so now the money printing is just going directly into the c p i, it's going directly into price increases. and once the inflation genie is out of the bottle, there's no way to put it back in expectations are running high. so this is the beginning of

the rock bottom entry election months after he suspended parliament and socks, the prime minister, tenacious president k side, opposed a new government. also this hour, a warning from the u. s. and the u. k. to a citizens in afghanistan, telling them to stay away from hotels in cobble. oh, and celebrations in australia's largest city after a long cove 19 lockdown is lifted. i'm joanna roscoe, with your sports france put the disappointment of hearing 2020 behind them by winning the way foot nations leaves. that's all coming up later. this is hours for you, sir, so ah, thank you very much for joining as we begin this news hour in iraq where we're expecting results from sundays parliamentary vote to be announced shortly. the election commission says turn out was about 41 percent. that's the lowest in the 5 election as in sam, hussein was deposed in 2003 voter apathy. and a boycott campaign appear to have contributed to the record, low turnout. life to our is mahmud abdullah, hot in baghdad for a. so were expecting an announcement mammo from the electoral commission to we know exactly what they'll be announcing and when we're fully that could, that could be a speaking about the results, i

the u. s. and the u. k. j bond and acknowledge the handling of that security packed was clumsy. we have a war world. i live in france with region par can we did with a lot of grace. i was under the impression, certain things that happened that had former, included with us food and drug administration, has authorized the 5 a by and had coven 19 vaccine for children, as young as 5 trials for the age group began in july, the lebanese ambassadors to saudi arabian bahrain have been given 48 hours to leave those countries. it's in response to accusations of saudi aggression and the yemen will. the u. k. is threatening, threatening, greater checks on all e vessels fishing in its waters. if france goes ahead with the series of proposed sanctions, the escalating dispute is linked to a post brags that fishing agreement. paris is threatening sanctions if the u. k. doesn't grant more licenses to french fishermen. at least 5 people have been killed and a shooting at a nightclub in panama. 6 people were wounded in the attack. authorities believe the shooting was part of a gang fight persons.

and kidnapping, all those things he would have brought to the high court. maria after to switch much stronger independence and expertise, but it was quite smart by the u. s. and the u. k. to, to have it arranged the other one. so they don't extroverted. and in the 1st instance they, they basically confirmed a whole narrative about you. if you're not act acquisitions of everything, and set the precedent criminalizing basic the journalist for that matter, but they will only bring those questions of the people that they want to have to consider. but just to the us and the state of health and their prison conditions and now mind you, their prison conditions is absolutely in their control. they can make diplomatic guarantees at any stage of to any extent to neutralize those concerns. they can offer medical services, they can offer no guarantees when they got to the conditions of retention, which makes it very difficult from a high court. now to refuse expedition. yes, james or his case, he seemed to be saying, we have a psychiatric asylum. we can throw julian sans into if he has mental problems once a extradited in given what you just said is it, and some of the wiki leeks

and a constant worry by tacitly endorsing. for the very least turning a blind to i, the terrorist groups, and the u. s. and the u. k. m is supporting separatist movements in china going back decades. this is all part of america strategy to mess with china, create chaos, divide and conquer. but the united states is making a huge mistake once again. dislike they back the majority in the 1980s to fight soviet. now they're implicitly backing you the terrorists in order to fight the chinese. and, you know, there comes a point where you really have to understand that backing jihadists is not a good idea. there is nothing beneficial about someone's blowing themselves up and committing a terrorist attack. i mean, this is incredible. how many times is it gonna take for the united states to realize that backing which i, dean and of gannon, stan or anywhere for that matter is a really bad idea. they did it in the 1980s. they back been loudon. it came back to bite them. it always does, and this is no exception. earlier we asked a political analyst, chris bemberry, and anti war activist brian becker, what the american anti terro

the $27.00 you leaders come together since the diplomatic rout erupted between paris and washington over the aka steel that deal, that was signed by the u. s. u. k. and australia seemingly without any consultation from a european allies, certainly not with the french. the french, very upset by that. i know earlier today the french president had a meeting with you as secretary of state, anthony lincoln. in paris. the 2 are saying that they work together to cooperate in the future on, in certain areas. certainly the u. s. trying to rebuild trust with the french president the u. k. has sent its 1st delegation to me with the taliban in kabul since to groups takeover of afghanistan, salmon gas. the u. k is a special representative for afghanistan held talks with the taliban deputy prime minister in labrador. a u. p. government spokesman says the envoy discussed how brittan could help us canister address the humanitarian crisis and raise the treatment of minorities and women. stephanie decker has more from kabul on what this meeting means. and certainly in line with what we've been hearing from, particularly the british foreign secretary dominic robin

the high court. maria of georgia switch, much stronger independence and expertise. but it was quite smart by the u. s. and the u. k. 2 to have it arranged. the other one, so they don't extroverted him. in the 1st instance, they basically confirmed a whole narrative about yes, nice act acquisitions of everything and set the precedent to criminalize message the journalist for that matter. but they will only bring those questions that they want to have to consider. but just to me as under state of health and their prison conditions and now mind you, their prison conditions is absolutely in their control. they can make diplomatic guarantees at any stage of to any extent to neutralize those concerns. they can offer medical services, they can offer no guarantees with regard to the conditions of attention, which makes it very difficult for the high court. now to refuse expedition. yes, james, the excuse. he seemed to be saying we have a psychiatric asylum. we can throw julian sans into if he has mental problems once a extradited and given what you just said, is it sensible for wiki leaks, lawyer edwards. gerald, you see

and we had the most recent i'm i would say misplaced alliance between the u. k. u. s. ross, earlier as the wife and which basically went against a lion. her basically put a put a dagger in the trust there were. so we've got we've got issues within the, a nato ally to say that it's, it's not an important alliance. it it but i think i think europe needs to look out for themselves and they should realize that other allies don't necessarily look out after the interest of european. and so i think her, mr. um, president mccall has been pushing for this for a long time until merkel with support of it as well. and i think this is just a step in that direction. you know, with the orchestra the box, the lin recently probably motivated this movement even though it's been a negotiation perhaps for quite a while. but i'm sure it added additional strengthen into solidifying the the grease and the recent french um park or shift here which, which i think it's important. i think your needs to stick up themselves and they need to look internally and how to support and defend themselves.
