and the united states, which for the french, they say it's a stop in the back. the will do the jungle. france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k of stopped her in the back in australia still v, the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from restructuring partnership with australia at the time when we are facing unprecedented challenges in the in the pacific region shows a lack of coherence that france can only note and regret. so instead of failure have find the security parks with the united kingdom and the united states overgrown concerns over china and its regional dominance on this deal. then what it all really entails is that all 3 nations will be sharing secrets and data and information on a strategic level on areas, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and also nuclear defense. part of this, we'll see that australia will now acquire a nuclear submarine making the 7 the country in the world to get a nuclear saw just the last time that the united states allowed such capabilities was right here to the united kingdom some decades ago. so very grand gesture, indeed. however, it's

and the united states, which for the french, they say it's a stop in the back. the world is a jungle. france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k of stopped her in the back in australia fil a v. the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from restructuring partnership with australia at the time when we are facing unprecedented challenges in the, in the pacific region shows a lack of coherence that france can only notes and regret. so instead of failure has signed this security parks with the united kingdom and the united states overgrown consent over china and its regional dominance. although quite interestingly, none of the 3 leaders of those states even mentioned the word china. although they did say it wasn't directed up any one country in particular, but when the deal was struck, all 3 leaders of the nations talked about shared values, shed interest on the need to secure peace and stability and the endo pacific region . now under this deal then what it all really entails is that all 3 nations will be sharing secrets and data and information on a strategic level on areas, including artificial

u. s. and the u. k. a. today they work within their own proper alliance with 5 eyes project with canada as well. and then the u. s. included, they work more closely. it's like within the anglo saxon world, these are the real, this is the real alliance. and they were much closer together than they do when there are other allies. and this is why france has been excluded. i think because the u. k. australia and the, and the u. s. trust themselves more than the new trust countries like france or other ones, community or even germany. when you bring up the issue of trust. as you were saying, europe in america was supposed to be working together on defense such as nathan with you said together. is it possible that a, a new security packed with australia, the u. k. in america, could this undermine nato, in any way? do you think? i don't forget the manual macro said a couple years ago that data was brain dead. even donald trump said that nato had to be reviewed. nato isn't working as it's supposed to be. it was init

the us and u. k. seem to be operating independently of ne, to hear that divisions inside the block. oh, no doubt, no doubt. and the u. s. and the u. k. since world war 2, especially the u. k. a few years afterwards, especially after their misadventure is more against egypt and $956.00. the, the ruling ally in, in the united kingdom decided they have a position as the junior partner of the united states. and so they operate that way . they operated that way and regard to the iraq war, 2003, when there was a position within there. there's a lot of there's a lot of differences they had to do with huge amounts of money. the contracts for our summer, but they also have to do with what i think it's called inter, into realist rivalry between the us and frank taking that most of that plays out in africa. but it also is playing out to do richard becca. and he will activist at coalition. mr. becker, thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. and we're now moving to the heart of moscow and our special coverage of the force coming elementary election voting will be held over 3 days. it will run from friday to sunday and

the u. k and the u. s. helping it develop a nuclear power submarine fleet, which is going to have a massive impact on the in the pacific region, particularly with regard to the strategic conflict that is continuing the, the u. s. and the u. k. already maintain a significant naval presence in the region. but injecting into that nuclear power, australian submarine is certainly going to ratchet up the whole situation and actually bring this new cold war under the water as well as on top of it. now the answer is korea conducted ballistic missile tests within hours of each other, in a sign of escalating tensions that are said at launch missiles from a train up for the 1st time. south korea meanwhile, reported its 1st test of a submarine launched missile. the international criminal court has approved an investigation into the so called war on drugs in the philippines. judges said president rodrigo deter it is cracks and cannot be seen as a legitimate law enforcement operation. prosecutors say civilians have been

the u. s. u. k, and austria. leave it out of a specific security allows the same to come to china. job either makes an embarrassing flip of well another thing that deal apparently guessing that i am of the australian prime minister. thank you bores. when i want to thank that fell down under thank you very much. appreciate it. just previous and on the eve of russia's parliamentary election, the threats of potential meddling is raised to bring you the full breakdown later this hour throughout the 3 days of voting in our special couple awe . thanks so much for joining us. know about it today. i assure you, our russian election coverage that will be coming up for you very shortly. make sure you stay with us for that to start off though, we're going to focus on the 1st of those long stories i just mentioned. i stop in the bag. that is how senior french officials have described a pacific security packed between 3 of its allies, the united states, britain and australia, seen as an attempt to counter beijing, u. k. corres

u. s and the u. k. of stub to in the back in australia, the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from a structuring partnership with australia at the time when we're facing unprecedented challenges in the, in the pacific region showed the lack of coherence that france can only note and regret. so instead, australia has signed this new security packed with the united kingdom and the united states over growing concerns over china. now when that deal was struck, all of the leaders talked about shared values, shared interest, and the need to secure peace and stability and the indo pacific region. now, under the best deal, all 3 nations will share the defense. state are and secrets you name it on strategic areas including artificial intelligence, a cyber security and of course, and you can defend now of radia will acquire a new killer submarine, make it the 7th country in the world to acquire. and you can a sub, in fact, the only other time that the united states offered such

what the biden and ministration did. ganna stan, and now paris has been stunned by washington's announcement of a new partnership with australia and the u. k. called all because, but haven't the u. s. the u. k. and all these been calls allies for ages? what's the problem? well, thanks to august, australia will now be hooked up with us technology to build nuclear submarines while france waves goodbye to its own multi 1000000000 dollar contract to build 12 diesel subs for a camera. now for some damage control by senior american officials. after that deal was to repeat ode, there are a range of partnerships that include the french and some partnerships that don't. and they have partnerships with other countries that don't include us. that is part of how global diplomacy works are such words enough to calm the fury in paris, which is even called of a gala, at the french embassy in washington to celebrate historic ties with the u. s. good question. anyway, the french government has shown they're not willing to just swallow that bitter pill. plus there's solidarity with paris from b, e. u on the matter. you know, because you do believe it is a good opportunity to recall, i think, to ref

and back. there is no explanation. why are the u. s. and the u. k. now, at this time, hoping australia develop a nuclear power suite of submarines and then turning around and saying this will advance the world peace. clearly this is about another war. this is about a war that is being prepared against china. the us leaders, they talk about the endo pacific, which is of course the term was made up to enable us to explain us leaders explain, bringing more countries into the anti china alliance, surrounded china. on the surface, we see that the u. s. and the u. k. is empowering australia to have the nuclear submarine. i think the under one key reason for this empowerment is the us in ability to provide more defense budget, to support this large spending of nuclear power summaries. so it says it is forcing australia to share the costs of maintaining such ships and also strategic positions and also forces in their self, china. and also, especially now that there is increasing strong china and china watching very closely. the next steps of the free country

u. s. and the u. k. is empowering australia to have the nuclear submarine, i think the under one that keel and reason for this empowerment is the us in the ability to provide more defense budget, to support this large spending of nuclear power summaries. so it says it is forcing australia to share the cost of maintaining such ships and also strategic positions. and also. ready forces in their self, china the and also pacific region, especially now that there is increasing tension between china and australia. so china is watching very closely. the next steps of this free country alliance. now or year i was reading for a price shock on his and the jury markets. natural gas rates have an all time record on wednesday of almost a $1000.00 per 1000. cubic meters, they says will be roller coaster, looked on wednesday, the price peaks at $980.00, which is more than 50 percent higher than 2 weeks ago. by late evening, things come down a bit. but unless a warning of further volatility. the current crisis has been b

the u. s. u. k and australia reportedly agreed to form a new defense alliance on the sidelines of this year's g. 7 summit in england, washington in london, will help it by a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. the main reason for the alliance containing china we spoke in detail about china's di stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to course and intimidate other countries. contrary to establish rules and norms, we will remain clear eyed and review a beijing's efforts to undermine the established international order. we discussed the competition of china at a number of levels that requires us to respond and to increase resilience. this does not mean that there are not constructive areas for engagement with china straight. it continues to sake dialogue with china without pre conditions. not surprisingly, beijing condemned both the alliance and the submarine deals war war. lee, who attended the exports of highly sensitive nuclear power, sibling technology by the united states and britain to australia,

and power on al jazeera, me play an important role, protecting human. ah, ah, ah, hello, i see has a c k in doha. the headlines on i just, you know, the u. s. australia and the u. k. have announced a new indo pacific security alliance, known as orchestra is being seen as part of a strategy to count to china's influence in the region. australia will receive nuclear power submarines as part of the agreement. august will bring together our sellers, our scientists and our industries maintain and expand our edge and military capabilities and critical technology such as cyber artificial intelligence.

u. s and the u. k. an expert panel in the u. s. has rejected government plans to roll out corporate 1900 booster shots to all americans, age 16 and older. bought it in doors, extra 5 biotech shots for people over the age of 65. thousands of taken to the strengths of its capital in the 1st major demonstration after the 1st case i had received power isn't dismissed parliament in july that opposed to the president's time to amend the constitution club of louis as a journalist based into this. and she says she is in.

u. s. and the u. k. also, the australian government re committing to disagreement to buy french submarines just a few weeks ago, says the french foreign minister. so what happens there are many who want on. so from australia they're asking for 30, from the australian prime minister the scope morrison. and then this deep sense of disappointment in joe biden showing material, again saying that the current washington administration has acted in a trump like manner. trump, who is known for taking a unilateral decisions for not consulting allies. well, in this case of from says it was who consulted the youth says that it wasn't consulted. we are likely to hear a lot more reaction, a little bit later the fridge present the minute macro is due to the farewell dinner for the german chancellor anglo merkel. of course you to step down from that position. this may well bolster a manual micro assertion, something that he is held a low belief that keys is often fed. the us is distancing itself from its international p

u. s. and the u. k. also, the australian government re committing to disagreement to buy french submarines just a few weeks ago, says the french foreign minister. so what happened there are many who want onset from australia. they are asking for 30 from the australian prime minister, the scott morrison, and then this deep sense of disappointment in joe biden. joy material again saying that the current washington administration has acted in a trump like manner. trump, who is known for taking a unilateral decision for not consulting allies. well, in this case, a from says it was and consulted. the youth says that it wasn't consulted. afghanistan's acting deputy prime, it is up to got it, but has appeared in a video to deny room. as of his death, speculation had been swelling that he was caught up in a violent confrontation between rival taliban factions. after the formation of the interim government moisture problem with the military i was traveling from top to so i had no access to the media in order to re

the u. k. economy and the u. s. economy. of course nancy pelosi is over in the u. k. truck house and she's been barking on about the fact that she's going to, obviously for the u. k. u. s. trade deal in the northern protocol as hell too, but that's another issue why i wanted to hit on that. why is that? an issue that an american law maker would start to criticize and say, such a thing that you should remember that over a $1000000000.00 with a trade is conducted between just california, her district and the u. k alone. so she's actually the british and she's been very small about this. the british embassy is going to congress with a report by congressional district and state state congressional district of how many american jobs are in those respect, u. k. jobs and american jobs are dependent on u. k. business. that's a very smart move by the british embassy. but what it is, is that in colors you have a lot of american politicians that have irish roots and don't want to see that protocol broken. but not does anybody in the u. k. in the u. k. they will, he's also to g

the ask and to pull out. last week, the u. s. infuriated france by forming a security alliance with australia and the u. k. to supply nuclear submarines to australia, leaving france in the dark. but the white house insists the new travel requirements are not an effort to ease tensions. if we were going to make things much easier for ourselves, we would have done it prior to june when the president has 1st for trip or earlier this summer. despite whitehouse denials the travel requirement announcement appears deliberately time to ease tensions with allies. now the u. s. president is armed with good news as he prepared to meet face to face with world leaders and address the un general assembly. kimberly held it al jazeera, the white house, pfizer has announced it's covered 1900 vaccine is effective for children between 5 and 11 years old. the pharmaceutical giant child the job with a lower dose from adults and find it produces enough antibodies. pfizer will send its findings to us regulators to request approval for a global rollout. hundreds of construction workers who march through the trillion city of melbou

u. s. and the u . k. after his speech biden met with australia's prime minister scott morrison saying the u. s. had no closer or more reliable ally in his speech, president biden didn't speak much about the way forward in afghanistan on wednesday, the foreign ministers of the g 20 group of countries, and then the 5 permanent members of the security council. therefore, ministers will discuss how to deal with the taliban. the reality though is the international community has very limited leverage on the new rulers. in cobble, james base al jazeera at the united nations. hearing his pre recorded speech, chinese president thought to reassure the this that his country had peaceful intentions. shooting thing said she had never invade or bully other nations. go, you go up the differences and problems among countries. hardly avoidable need to be handled through dialogue and corporation on the basis of equality and mutual respect. one countries assess does not have to mean another country's failure and well is big

u. s. the u. k and australia. read the pacific security alliance, seen those countries, china garza, joe biden, mc southern bar thing. slip up while another thing the deal, apparently forgetting the name of the extraneous board. and i want to thank that total down under thank you very much. appreciate your time is also ahead while european markets, real from wedding phase record storage and natural gas prices with a knock on effect on the pockets of customers. we look at the root causes of the crisis and rushes parliamentary election is just the day away. will bring you the full bricks on this, our, on the brought the 3 the news from moscow to the world. this is our to hello and welcome to the news are, i mean the newly i stop in the buck diplomats in front didn't hold back this week in describing a pacific security park between 3 of its allies, the u. s. the u. k. industry, liam, seeing an attempt to contact basing our u. k. correspondent, shabby edwards. she is following developments. well, put it this way for th

the us and destroyer after what is calling us fab in the bag. frances angry officer miss tony a cancelled a multi $1000000000.00 submarine contract to enter a military alliance with the u. s. and the u. k. i start tunnel and the u. s. has rejected the government plans to roll out corporate $900.00 booster shots to all americans. age 16 and older, but it's endorsed extra pfizer biotech shops for people over the age of $65.00. okay, let me take you back to our top story more in those mass process in tunis. william laurence is professor of international relations at the american university is also from us diplomat engine. is it? he's joining us by skype from washington. d. c. good to have back on august. you know, thanks very much. indeed. we were hearing from our, from a journalist by louis who is on the streets of june, esther, in the middle of those protests. and she was telling us earlier in the program that the, the call that people are making today is for more information. they want more clarity about what the president is doing. why is it taking the president so long to put the forms in place? well, there is a number of issues at hand. first of all, he and now he 1st right after th

the u. s. u. k and australia has left it out of a pacific security pack that is being seen as an effort to counter china bus to revive and make the rather embarrassing flip off while announcing that deal. and finally, forgetting the name of the australian prime minister and make it bores when i want to thank have trouble down under thank you very much, appreciate it. mr. prime is also on the program on our tea, while european markets, real from wednesdays, record search and the natural gas price of critics where the policy missteps are harming energy security. and finally, russia's parliamentary election is now just a day away here went into national. we'll bring you the full breakdown at this hour throughout the 3 days of voting. ah, well, a very warm welcome to you for all of us here at the international in moscow with so just off at 9 am now on thursday morning. we do start this program with breaking news from western russia. we understand a man hunt is under way in the vote on hedge region. after a

u. s. and the u. k. on australia with france unceremoniously nudged out of the deal is defense chief says political dialogue within the block has all but disappeared. let you to does it as you need the attitude of the united states. one of the submarine program is a further investigation of the zation that we have been making for months today. political dialogue is non existent within the atlantic lions. a quarter looks at the growing rift within the military block made was by the british from, enters the seemingly laughing off the damage done by the new yorkers deal. what, what do you say? you have going on to say every mutual protection, a greater common purpose, all this seems to go out the window and there's a bit of money to be made. the recent controversy surrounding the u. s. u. k and australia is new security pack has left, you leaders scratching their heads about what even means to be in nato anymore. the reason for nato existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind do you k

the same decisions as does other countries within our region. and however, the new deal stands increased tension even further, as china responded by calling the move, highly irresponsible, and accusing the u. s. and the u. k. of using nuclear exports as a tool for ju, political games made us the u. k. and australia is cooperation in nuclear submarine, severely damages regional peace and stability, intensify the arm of race and jeopardize the international efforts and promoting the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. and rachel, it seems like the bite administration has talked about improving this relationship with china, improving the diplomacy between the 2 side. is this helping any, it doesn't seem to be and you know, it's interesting because just last week we were talking about how talks were being carried out between the united states and china. and when it comes to that, where diplomacy, that's where the binding ministration is said they want to do, especially when comparing themselves to the trumpet administration. but yet, at the same time, when you look at the south, see, you see that that military build up has only continued. and one of the things that we've heard from the united states is for t

the anti war campaign and beyond. the coalition. richard becker, it says the nuclear parked is aimed at countering china's growing influence and the region. there's no explanation, why are the u. s. and the u. k. now, at this time, hoping australia develop a nuclear power suite of submarines and then turning around and saying this will advance the world peace. clearly this is about another war. this is about a war that is being prepared against china. the us leaders, they talk about the endo pacific, which is of course the term was made up to enable us to explain us leaders explain, bringing more countries into the anti china alliance, surrounded china. and when i'm moving to the heart of moscow and our election h t, as a looking red squares on his new holidays that to bring you out in depth coverage of the elections to the stay de my, which is russia low house of parliament. voting will be over 3 days, it will run from friday to sunday and across the way, we're introducing you to the different policies in the race, giving you an insight into the world of russian politics. for now, let's just quickly take you through how the entire election process works. ah, the news will continue without de

the u. s. austria and the u. k. the packed effectively cancelled a long running agreement with france. british technology will be used instead, johnny luther, y'all is demanding answers saying, situation has cause a crisis of trust. and a european union has expressed his solidarity with francis my can of reports from the united nations. as expected, the gathering of ministers on the sideline of the un general assembly expressed for support for france and its ongoing dispute over the alliance forge between the u. s . australia and the u. k. earlier, the french foreign minister told reporters that french anger had in no way dissipated several times. use the word brutal or brutal to emphasize the depths of french fury at the formation of this alliance level job with done. it's not just about a brutal, unexpected, and unexplained breach of 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 . i

the u. k and the u. s. have long maintained a significant naval and air presence in the in the pacific region. in competition with china, the injection of australia, nuclear power submarines could well intensify this new cold war under the water as well as above. mike hannah 0, washington. well, the new alliance compass, a multi $1000000000.00 deal that from sign 5 years ago to make submarines for australia and joint statement where the defense minister, the foreign minister shall lead vienna said the american choice to push aside a european ally and partner like france from a structural partnership with a straight ya the time we're facing unprecedented challenges in the, in the pacific region show, the lack of coherence that france cannot acknowledge and regret, well, the line, so that comes a low point in time for tina australia and china, malcolm davis is a senior and left at the australian strategic policy institute. he says the relationship would only get worse. it's really important because the 1st th

feels very grieved at the moment that allies, that they say should share things and should talk about things. and yet very secretly, the u. s. did a deal with australia and the u. k. cutting out france which had to deal with australia to come up with new submarines. and now the threatens to taking those submarines from the u. s. and the u. k. new nuclear power submarines. they of course, are aimed at patrolling the pacific because of the threats of china, but he made it quite clear that we are not looking for a new cold war. he said they did not want a country divided and they made it clear they were prepared to work with any nation in a peaceful manner. that's important because he got referred to north korea. he said he wanted to complete the nuclear is ation of the korean peninsula. and of course, to iran, whether it is iran talks continue in vienna. some the criticize the by the administration is going a little bit late to that, to starting that diplomacy a little late. and certainly that diplomacy is dragging on and no sign of any progress. and all that was telling you that was supposed to be a meeting of the other members of the iraq nuclear deal. of course
