u. k. united states australian security partnership. that would be arming australia with nuclear power summaries. we know that france was so angry at pulled in some bass letters to australia and the united states for the white house says, no, no, we may have some bumps in the road from time to time. but our relations with the allies are still strong, and the fact that the president is going to the un general assembly is going to meet amid these tensions. well, this easing of restrictions has nothing to do with that, but certainly some are questioning the timing to be certain. thank you very much from the white house. kimberly i'll get thanks. kimberly and other developments the drug company, pfizer says it's covered 1900 vaccine as effective for children aged from 5 to 11 years old. now the company is tested children with a much lower dose than adults, but found it produces sufficient anti bodies. are currently no vaccines available to children under 12 years old in the u. s. were covered hospitalizations and death . so again, as who jus

u. k. the united states in australia. and was the announcement of the creation of that group was also the announcement that australia would be ditching a deal made with the french to purchase diesel powered submarines. and instead would be buying nuclear powered submarines from both the u. k. and the united states, in terms of that technology now that led to quite a diplomatic spat, we saw the french pulling there and basset to both the united states and to australia. and so as a result, the united states now trying to ease some of these tensions. again, i call expected between the u. s. president joe biden, and french liter menu, or mac crawl. we are sure what time it will be happening. all we know is that will be happening later today on wednesday. and what we expect is that the friends are not only going to express their disappointment about the fact that they were not notified. a really was much advance notice other than a few hours about the deal being scrapped, but also that they were left out of this security partn

u. k. as much as they are against the united states and australia, they're essentially saying that the u. k was not much more than an intermediary. and this kind of matchmaker between australia and the united states. if perhaps it will be easier for the u. k. and france to get over this hump than it will be for the united states. now straightest that's already challenges talking to us from london, rory, thank you very much. what china state back newspaper global times, as described, australia as a policy of the us and gullible, for buying into us cold war strategy. the chinese president has warned against what he calls interference from external forces and is in his address the shanghai cooperation organization. jim j show jones, we should maintain firm confidence in our systems, reject condescending, lecturing and firmly support countries and exploring development pods and governance models that are compatible with the national conditions. we must never allow any externally. interference in the domestic affairs of countries in our region, under whatever pretext, in short, we should keep t

u. k, the united states and australia a u. k. u. s. is being dubbed, and part of that is the analysis of a multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal. the only snag is australia had already agreed to deal with the french, according to paris. and now renee, going on that deal. of course, that means pirates losing out on billions in contracts and, but also of course on the status on the world stage are being shunned in such a way and it's having political consequences. the french defense ministry cancelling summit that was due to be held a bilateral summit with the brits. we understand the reports of florence, paula, who is the french defense minister personally called for that meeting to be council . the british side are denying it. they say that this is merely a postponement, it's not a cancellation of that. 3 meeting the french side, haven't commented on those reports yet, but that it all comes, of course, as tensions continue. and some of the words coming out from the french side really harsh when it comes to their view of events, saying th

u. k. to the united states, but the white house earlier today actually announced that there would allow starting a november u. k. and you said it's into our fully vaccinated will be able to travel to the united states. how important is that? yeah, it was actually just the u. k. wasn't to do with you, but yeah, it's very important actually brand what a lot of people don't realize know a mirror, a 1000000 brits. what can the u. k. u for a 1000000 brits. what can the us a 1000000 americans work in the u. k? so you imagine there's at least 2000000 people who've been kept away from their respective families during this whole cova devil. so that's been really bother a strain. and then there are those of us who, having to check since we have relatives over then hoping our relatives can come over and vice versa. but it's more important in terms of an overall trade route. yes, an extensive amount of trade is done. this is viewed as a boost post to the u. k. economy and the u. s. economy. of course nancy pelosi is over in the u. k. traffic house and she's been barking on about the fact that she's going to

u countries as unacceptable. it followed australia abruptly dishing an existing multi $1000000000.00 submarine contract with paris in favor of the united states as a new security pact between cambra, the u. k and washington was revealed. frances responded with the cancellation of top level events with the u. k. as each rally explained, the french defense ministry cancelling summit that was due to be held a bilateral summit with the brits. we understand that there were reports of florence, paula, who is the french defense minister, personally called for that meeting to be council. the british side are denying it, they say that this is merely a postponement. it's not a cancellation of that. 3 meeting the french side, haven't commented on those reports yet, but that it all comes, of course, as tensions continue, higher is losing out on billions in contracts supply. the latest announcement of a new license, if you will, between the u. k. the united states and australia, part of that is the analysis of a multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal. the only snag is australia had already agreed to deal with the french, according to paris, and they are now reneging on that deal. and some of the was comin

u. k. the united states and australia, and part of that is the analysis of a multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal. the only snag is australia had already agreed to deal with the french, according to paris, and that they are now reneging on that deal. now again, all of this comes against the backdrop of. busy those ties between america and some of the closest allies already strained because of the manner the chaotic manner in which nato led by the us, withdrew from afghanistan, ready, many french, and other continental european powers. calling for europe to go its own way when it comes to military affairs. and these types of developments with a seemingly the anglo phone world sticking together will do nothing to make those ties any stronger. the big weekend devoted is going on 3 days until special election coverage here of general election and our to international. it's been happening in russia with less than half of the remaining one percent of votes still to be counted. so nearly done and dusted. this is how the results look this. well, let me see, i'm saying, and 1st, i mean the you not al

u. k. the united states and australia, part of that is the analysis of a multi $1000000000.00 submarine deal. the only snag is australia had already agreed to deal with the french, according to paris. and now renee, digging on that to deal. and some of the was coming out from the french side really harsh when it comes to their view of events, saying that when 2 sides reach an agreement, they must stick to that word. keeping one's word is the condition of trust between democracies and between allies. so it is unthinkable to move forward on trade negotiations as if nothing had happened with the country in which we no longer trust. now, part of the political fallout continues as a result of this decision by the french governments. recall it some buses to both the united states and australia and the french foreign minister joined eve luxury on again outlining the deep sense of anger in paris over these developments. there was a lie, there was due placidity. there was a major breach of trust in there was disdain. so things are not going well between us, not at all. it means that there is a crisis

u. k. could make such a mistake so quickly after the u. s. did. in this particular case, i doubt that there will be accountability if i can speak for the prince, but the united states never follows upon anything they hope low over united states did. did the same thing. i can't believe that the british ministry would do the same thing after the example of the united states, a jerk, the lives of hundreds of interpreters and their families in, in dire straits. and in many of them actually had been rounded up. as a consequence, attention has been pulled away from those who are stranded. they have become the forgotten ones they worked with with us and with, with the allies. they were promised to be taken care of and we reneged on that promise. so this is, this is devastating. not only for the u. s. for the u. k. the europe in commission president as the dr. treatment of france by 3 noni. you countries is unacceptable. that followed australia roughly did seeing an existing multi $1000000000.00 submarine contract with paris in favor of the us as a new security back between canberra, london and washington was revealed. frances responded with the cancellation of top level e

u. k. the united states and other countries need to develop to deal with the threats that we're facing from china and elsewhere. and scott morrison, the australian prime minister, emphasized how, basically one of the commitments is that they will support us freely and acquiring nuclear power. would a submarine. so that's the obvious, been in fit to really how would you see the other countries benefiting? well, they've got serious security concerns about china's activity. let's not forget, china is claiming large swats of the south. china sea are building islands out of the ocean. so it is important that every possible military capability can be brought to bear, to send a clear message. and if you will, a deterrent to china for getting overly aggressive for trying to intimidate some of those other countries in the region as well. that we have additional military support will feel the warm glow of the western alliance. and that may help to keep them on the side of democracy. human rights. and the hope is that china will have less influence in the region. it may be that france is not necessari

u. k. and united states, when they're talking to australia and china and the sub deal in france are saying, forget diplomacy. let's look at the economics. right? that's the standard they use. i guess, you know, let's just look at the economics of breaks it, which we said on this show now leading up to brags it that economically it was the stupidest thing a country could possibly do to cut themselves off from the world's largest trading partner. and a lot of people said, well, it's not about economics, it's about waving the british flag and eating marmite all day. and i said okay, that's great, but wait until the economic set in here is a good example. this gas crisis in the u. k is a direct result of breaks that add on top of that. the idea that britain's interfering politically with france loss julia as to smite france because france, of course, was against britain during brags it say, have all these politicians who are holding grudges with each other. and they're just playing petty politics with each other. the people in britain are going to freeze, but that was totally predictable. so th

u. k. the united states as well as our failure. a are set to announce a new working group, but what the partnership would do would allow for kind of a laser focused of security in terms of sharing a resources. so within this working group, there would be a sharing of intelligence, artificial intelligence, fiber intelligence, but also under water systems and long ridge strike capabilities. the goal in all of this is really bolster the defense the infrastructure of all of these 3 countries in the region. as there is a renewed focus, as we've been discussing on the in the pacific security arrangement, whitehouse correspond cavity how kept their live at the white house in washington. many thanks. kimberly. the international criminal court agreed to open an investigation into the war on drugs campaign in the philippines, john said the president rodrigo, to touch a crackdown, cannot be seen as a legitimate law enforcement operation to judge has been accused of sanctioning abuses against civilians. thousands of people have been killed dur

united kingdom has played. and in this deal, they have essentially fed through the foreign ministry, the 3 for a minister that the u. k. is nothing more than i kind of vassal state of the united states as to how this is playing out in the u. k. i think this is being seen as perhaps the french being a little bit hysterical about things as throwing their toys out of the prime to a certain extent. but you have to acknowledge that france has been really, really thrown under the bus and this, and i think in the u. k, that view is not being ignored. they can see that this was a big deal for france. they can see that this is a humiliation for macro and, and they can see that this throws french strategy in the indo pacific region into disarray. so the rivalry between france, the united kingdom is long, it goes back centuries, and there are always examples you can find in the u. k. of having a lot of the, the french people's expense. but i think there is also an acknowledgments that the french really have been done over, and the 2nd step and post brags, of course, the trying to suddenly become even more important to the united kingdom in terms of trade, in terms of just

united states. it's afraid of economic sanctions, and it's dependent on the u. k for its funding that want to pick on united states. and particularly here was a recent example with the, the drone strike in afghanistan, innocent civilians were killed in 1st place in the united states. depends on owned up to that. sometimes these things happened by accident. sometimes innocent people are killed deliberately and that's why atrocities have to be investigated by such organizations as the as international criminal court. but effectively what we're left with is what the united states will investigate itself, punish itself. and he's not really going to be impartial and independent, and probably not gonna be very heavy handed when it comes to punishing itself. is it? they will punish the us, won't punish itself at all. i mean, even in iraq where us marine slaughtered almost the entire village and had dita re young girls and then murdered them and set their bodies on fire. the u. s. cords to the shock and amazement of the iraqi people actually let those war criminals go and

ah, the united states and the u. k, you have agreed to help australia develop nuclear power submarines under a new partnership. they're calling because it is seen as a way to counter china, which has condemned the lines as an extremely irresponsible in their words, threat to regional peace and security. france has also hit out at australia for scrapping a submarine deal in favor of nuclear power subs from the u. s. calling it a stab in the back. why? under simmons will bring us more reaction from this more reaction on this from us. and we've also got kimberly, how can standing by in washington dc 1st. mike hannah takes us through what's in this new deal, 3 nation to me. it was an unusual prelude to a bite in white house briefing video extolling the depth and length of the relationship between the 3 countries. the only time the u. s. a shared it's nuclear propulsion technology was with the u. k. back in 1958. now a trailer will become part of the exclusive club. in an alliance labeled, the us president joined remotely b

u. k. in building a nuclear submarines exactly where the business will go in terms of the united states, australia and, and the u. k. as in craig gaps, but he said that was going to be a major win for the country. it was clear that this has been kept secret. one of his official sports people said that it was a deal that was done over a number of meetings. one of which was at the g 7 summit that was back in june in cornwall in the u. k. but of course the, the questions that were put to him a number of quite a few from the labor opposition. and also this question from a former prime minister, the conservative party, the implications of this pact, the stance that would be taken by the united kingdom of ritz response, should china attempt to invade taiwan, to speak, the kingdom remains determined to defend national law. and we, that is the strong advice you would give to our friends across the world and the strong advice that we would give to the, to the government invasion. i think the government's gotta be facing tough questions. the masses people absorb the enormity of this deal. we've seen the u.

united nations. the foreign minister making very clear that france remained absolutely furious at the deal between australia, the u. k. and the united states saying that it was a breach of trust. he used the word through town, brutal on a number of occasions which shows the depth of feeling about this whole matter. and he insisted this well, that it was evidence of a new type of us thinking, a unilateral thinking that he thought had been in the past, arguing very strongly that the rest of europe must now consider alliances with the us. regarding the fact that they may not be able to trust them in the future. so a very serious diplomatic issue here. the part i'm going to saying as well, that's the conversation between the french president and the u. s. president will be taking place and coming days, and he didn't want to get ahead of that for us as its relaxing and 18 month travel by allowing fully vaccinated foreign visitors into the country from november. they'll have to show proof of vaccination before boarding flights, as well as the negative cove in 1900 test. but they won't need to current teen in the u. s. white house correspondent,

u. k. as much as they are against the united states and australia, they're essentially saying that the u. k was not much more than an intermediary and this kind of matchmaker between australia and the united states. if perhaps it will be easier for the front to get over this hump than it will be for the united states and australia to renew gerad is the chief foreign correspondent with love to god or professor of strategic strategy. rather, at the paris school of international affairs, he says, france suit, stand up to the us. vengeance is a meal that should be served cold. it's just a lesson that has been given to us because we had forgotten the lessons of charles to go and saw the gold would admit only a dialogue equal to equal with the united states. yes, we are alive, but we are not poodle of the united states. and it has been a little bit forgotten. we have given the way america had treated their lives in the afghan crisis. and we have forgotten the way, you know, in 2013, about my decided by himself to deal with love, love on the out with during the french and without inviting the fre

u. k. as much as they are against the united states and australia, they're essentially saying that the u. k was not much more than an intermediary and this kind of matchmaker between australia and the united states. if perhaps it will be easier for the front to get over this hump than it will be for the united states and australia. do say for more on their reaction from the us. let's go live to correspondent mike had i washington, hello then mike, have we heard anything from the white house on francis decision to recall? it's ambassador to the us about an administration has been very quiet matter at all being the french yury at this particular move resulting from the alliance. as you heard the front says, recall that sam baset from the u. s. also from australia. the french foreign minister le drill absolutely furious in the issuing statements, describing the decision as a dad in the back. also pointing out that the australian prime minister held a meeting with a french president about 3 months ago. and very clearly, no mention was made of this impending deal. despite the fact that france h

united states has conducted this. the fact that this new grew the security group of the u. k. australia and the united states was put together and secret, leaving some nations out, including france and new zealand. and this isn't really the multilateralism that joe biden promise when he came into office. what does it say about us priorities in the, in the pacific region? well, officially, the united states says, look at this is about making sure that we are positioned to counter the rising influence, particularly in the south china sea of china. but what the concern is, and all of this is whether or not the united states is including everyone who may be affected by this. for example, japan not included in this group. what we know is that this has been a top priority for the obama administration going back 10 years ago when joe biden was the vice president. so this is a carry on of something that he started back a under brock obama. but what's also important to note in all of this is that the concern about china is still very real in the united states and may be escalating. it

as friends, i said, you know, the united states, the u. k. and australia. give friends a stab in the back and they feel a deal between france and australia and gave that to the united states and you pay . so it's a betrayal of your closest allies or partners and then they try to package it. they tried to present the deal as some kind of something like a tool for peas for the asia pacific region. the whereas indeed, as you have said already, great divide has emerged and condemn a nation, has emerged from various countries in that region. it's about money, look the united states and the defense contractors as well as the united, the u. k. they're going to continue to make profit out of the business. expected to be something like $100.00 bidding us dollars over the years. let's not forget what kind of profiteering was taking place in the 20 year us war on in afghanistan, according to some latest report over the 20th, depending on budget, went up to 14 trading us dollars. and one 3rd and one half of that went to defense contractors. so it's a lot of money to be

u. k. and the united states, when they're talking to australia and china, and the sub deal and france are saying, forget diplomacy. let's look at the economics. right? that's the standard they use. i guess, you know, let's just look at the economics of breaks in which we sat on the show now leading up to brags it that economically it was the stupidest thing a country could possibly do to cut themselves off from the world's largest trading partner. and a lot of people said, well, it's not about economics, it's about waving the british flag and eating marmite all day. and i said okay, that's great, but wait until the economic set in here is a good example. this gas crisis and the u. k is a direct result of breaks that add on top of that. the idea that britain's interfering politically with france and australia as to smite france because france of course was against britain during brags it. so you have all these politicians who are holding grudges with each other and are just playing petty politics with each other. the people in britain are going to freeze, but that was totally predictable. so ther

u k and the united states, they're all very careful not to mention china. they do seem like the elephant in the room here. i see. think this is likely to effect relations between washington emerging a very large elephant indeed. and you are correct to mention that not one of them said the name china during the addresses that in veiling this particular lions. but there's little doubt, according to most analysts, that the motivating force behind forging this alliance with focus on the specific is what these western nations regard. as of china's expansionism, particularly it's control of the in the pacific, some parts of which it claims that its own particular areas. and there's already been a reaction from china, the embassy here in washington, as issued an angry statement saying, and i quote, country should shake off the cold war mentality and i do logical prejudice. but there are other international ramifications as well. there's been absolute theory from france, which had concluded to deal with australia to provide some 90 conventional college submarines t

u. k. and the united states saying that it was a breach of trust. he used the word brutal, brutal on a number of occasions which shows the depth of feeling bound to this whole matter. and he insisted as well that it was evidence of a new type of us thinking, a unilateral thinking that he thought had been in the past, arguing very strongly that the rest of europe must now consider alliances with the us. regarding the fact that they may not be able to trust them in the future. so very serious, diplomatic issue here, the parliament of the saying as well, that's the conversation between the french president and the u. s. president will be taking place in coming days and he didn't want to get ahead of that. but this is what the par, a minister had to say. level job we've done. it's not just about a brutal, unexpected and unexplained break to the contract. the 2016 contract that was being implemented with strayer, what matters now is the breach of trust between partners and alliance means transparency and predictability. it requires explanations and invol
