u. s. u. k. and australia. i know we're hearing russia now to saying that august, this deal between the u. k and australia and the u. s. this, this arms deal will exacerbate geopolitical tensions and could lead to a conflict in asia. what do you make of that? that's a rush has been saying, but i don't know if you're invading some other country. i'm not sure in a good position to make any claims about publication. so no rush about russia, what russia is doing is clearly supporting it's a p s, the ally of the partners. sorry. so beijing is very wary about increase us ability to challenges position and russia is backing up just like beijing had back moscow up previously. is there any prospect in do you think of reducing tensions through dialogue between the u. s. and china? so dialogue will help reduce some of the confusion, the miscommunication, but fundamentally, beijing and washington have a lot of distrust between, between them. so that needs to be worked at dialogue can help they can also, if done wrong, reinforced the suspicions. so i think one of the key steps is of course, to have more

u. s. u k. in australia following but has china not been boosting its own military presence in the region in so i mean, china would say that, but they've been building up the military of the navy. there wasn't particular, they've been fortifying features that. ready occupied and reclaimed and such, trying to see they've been stepping up military patrols both air and sea. and yet i want to increase their patrols disputed to sink aku area near japan. so you know, the p r c. it's, it's, it's involved in this as much as anybody else. what is it in about these nuclear powered submarines that has china so worried? so the nucleus powered something means it's important to emphasize that their nuclear power, they are not nuclear. ok. that's a distinction that beijing sometimes blows, but the point about these nuclear power submarines is that they're quiet. they can, they can control for a really long time and long distances. so that means to say that should there be any effort, a blockade, or military action, beijing

u. k. australia in the u. s. australia is really going to be the, the military or the, even the economy that's going to see the biggest positive impact from this deal. is that correct? well, i think is a little too early to say who's going to have the biggest impact because what we know is there's going to be massive outlays and investments in all 3 countries. the united states just put forward its own defense budget, and there are increasing defense spending specifically towards some rain building by $2400000000.00 for the british announced just yesterday that they are increasing their defense spending by another $6000000000.00 u. s. and of course, the house drives have an enormous amount of money that they're going to put towards us. but also we're hearing out to that, the australians in addition to investing in their own shipyards in trimming their own people to kind of meet the needs that they have. are also going to be investing in both the british and the american shipyard so that they can combined increas

u. s. u. k. and australia and build of the plans at a meeting of their security alliance, which is known as alkalis a room. welcome to the 3 global leaders. they've come together to announce not just the major arms, dale, that's an historic strategic partnership. the oak is agreement. we confirm here in san diego represents the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about history. australia will buy as many of 5 of these nuclear power submarines and light to build a new one themselves based on british design with u. s. technology. it's a long time upgrade that will make australia a full partner in failing top secret us nuclear technology. previous the only shad with the u. k. warden has no partnership. we're showing again how democracies can deliver our own security and prosperity and not just for us, but for the entire world. oh, chris is an attempt to count a glowing chinese military power in the asia pacific region, including beijing's construction of a sophisticated naval fleet.

u. s . the u. k. and australia cementing a plan to deploy nuclear powered submarines from the australian coast are unprecedented. trilateral cooperation, i believe, is testament to the strength of the longstanding ties united's and our shared commitment of ensure. the end of pacific remains free and open, prosperous and secure. the plan will take decades to complete the defense alliance called arcus has already begun with the 1st of hundreds of australians embedding in u. s. and u. k. submarine building programs. more u. s. subs will start visiting australia this year, while british subs will increase rotations from 2026 by 2030 to australia, plans to buy 3 nuclear powered subs containing conventional weapons from the us, with the option of buying 2 more. and sometime in the 2000 and forty's, australia expects to have its own nuclear, so built by the u. k. in australia using u. s. technology, the orchestra gray met, we confirm hearing sandy, i represent the biggest single investment in australia's defense capabilit

now china has criticized to plan by australia to buy at least 3 nuclear powered submarines from the u. s. and the u. k. beijing accused 3 countries of going quote, further down a dangerous road and of disregarding the concerns of the international community. the u. s. u k and australia unveiled the plans on monday at a meeting of their security alliance known as all cas oh room. welcome to the 3 global leaders. they've come together to a not, not just the major arms, dale, that's an historic strategic partnership. the oak is agreement. we confirm hearing sandy, i represent the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about history. ah, australia will buy as many of 5 of these nuclear powered submarines and light to build a new one themselves. based on british design with u. s. technology. it's a long term upgrade that will make australia a full partner in fielding top secret us nuclear technology. previous, the only shared with the u. k. warden has no partnership. we're showing again how democracies can deliver our own security to prosperity and not just for us

u. s. and u. k. submarines making rotations in australia as a matter fact there's a u. s. submarine in the board of perth right now. but eventually, over the course of years, australia starting in 2032 would by 3 nuclear power, but carrying conventional weapons submarines from the u. s. with the option of buying 2 more. and then they would work on their industrial asking because ultimately they would make their own in australia that's not expected to happen until the 20 forty's. now, senior white house administration officials have said they were prodded in part by the war in ukraine. it showed the cooperation among european nations there in part by the threat of north korea. but the major threat that looming in the south china sea is china itself. it has been aggressively taking manmade islands and using them as military fortresses. they've been rattling sabres over taiwan, and the u. s. has been trying to combat that and by combining with australia and the u. k. so this is an international program to try to try to deter the threat as the u. s. would put it from the wor

capability in all of our history. australia will buy as many as 5 of these nuclear powered submarines and later build a new on themselves based on a british design with u. s. technology. it's a long time upgrade that will make australia a full partner in fielding top secret us nuclear technology. previously only shared with the u. k. warden has no partnership. we're showing again how democracies can deliver our own security and prosperity and not just for us, but for the entire world. all this is an attempt to counter growing chinese military power, which includes beijing's construction of a sophisticated naval fleet. britain is also beating up its military capabilities. it is more important than ever that we strengthen the resilience of our own countries. that's why the u. k. is today announcing a significant list and our defense budget. we're providing an extra 5000000000 pounds over the next 2 years. cluster alia isn't getting nuclear weapons, but the nuclear propulsion of the new submarine fleet will add substantial strength to the western alliance. and here's the look now at some other stories making news around the world in southeastern africa, over

u. s. the u. k and australia on val plans to provide australia with up to 5 nuclear power submarines. u. s. president joe biden met with y'all's trading prime minister anthony open easy. i'm persians at richey soon act as a naval base in california. the alliance is widely seen as a major effort to count obey genes, growing military influence in the pacific region. today we're now through the steps to carry out our 1st project under authors. 1 debris in australia, convention we are nuclear powered shrubbery capacity. the sobs are powered not nuclear arms subs or nuclear power, not nuclear arm. australia is a proud non nuclear weapons state and is committed to stay that way. the biden administration's approved a major oil and gas drilling projects in alaska. the $8000000000.00 plan is being led by oil dr. conoco phillips, but it's facing strong opposition from climb active, as they say on the mines. ministrations, pledge to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. when other developments that i present bite has been trying to reassure americans at the country's banking sys

u. s. the u. k. australia, they probably need to add japan the that the other countries in that region, south korea, the philippines. they need to broaden it from just the office to, to a bit more than that. but i think that will probably come in more of a nato type of approach to asia rather than just sort of a stand alone with united kingdom, the u. s. in australia. so many developments radio host and political commentator, steve girl, thank you. thank 0. moscow has agreed to extend the black sea green deal with ukraine, but only for 60 days to assess whether the west will prove it's ready to fulfill its side of the deal. russia says it's commodities are supposed to be part of the agreement as well. the comprehensive and frank conversation has once again confirmed that while the commercial exported ukrainian products is carried out at a steady pace, bringing considerable profits to kiev restrictions on the russian agricultural exports as the stunning place. how far the stones were, we determined upon tangibl

the new fleet replacing australia's aging diesel force requires the u. s. and u. k to boost their nuclear ship building capacity and to build one in australia from scratch. but ultimately, the defense of our values depends, as it always has on the quality of our relationships with others. with china engage in its own submarine building program and flexing its muscles in the south china sea. the 3 english speaking arcus nations are betting that together. they can better counterbalanced the size of china's naval force. john henderson, al jazeera san diego, and a mark as a senior research fellow at the sense of china and globalization. he says the deal will have a destabilizing effect on the asia pacific region. i think this only strengthens the view that has been articulated by presidency and think the foreign minister that if the u. s. continues down this path, ah, it raises the risk of outright conflict. of course, this is not good for china, but it's also not good for the us as well as we all know. the u. s. is economically intertwined with china, as are many othe

australia will be building its own. it'll be built by the u. k and australia. and there will be american technology in there. and the u. s. hasn't shared it's nuclear propulsion technology with any other country except the united kingdom. it started doing that in 1958. so this will just be the 2nd time it does that. and eventually when australia begins building those submarines, it's going to be in the 20 forty's, at least that is the current estimate. and that will strain the capacities of the industrial bases of the us, of the u. k. and australia. so this is a major project that will gone for decades, and it's really a new kind of alliance in the pacific. but these lead is apparently feel it is necessary due to the growing threat they see from china. china has been building out on manmade islands. naval fortresses and talking about taiwan in ways that have alarmed much of the western world. and this is their answer. and i suppose it's interesting that from washington's perspective, they would choose to share this very sensitive in secretive technology with australia and get into this deal with the u. k. when actually t
