u. s. other it's withdrawal for more and now joined by roger shanahan, a middle east security expert at the low institute in sydney, australia. thanks for your time. roger. you served in afghanistan with the australian military. are you surprised as to why he was located in the capital in a good neighborhood of cobbled? certainly i think this thing that exercising most people's minds, most people would have assumed that when he was killed, it would have been somewhere along the afghan pakistan border in a remote part of either of those 2 countries. but the fact that it is found in the center of kabul, ah, is puzzling to cite laced and obviously, right, the series questions about the relationship between the taliban and al qaeda. the next question being given that alpha y haiti was located under their noses. is it possible the taliban did not know he was living in cobble? well, there's probably more information to come out about that, but does. but the publicly available information is that it app

u. s. and other troops are holding a joint military training exercise to august the 14th the annual jose expected to be the biggest, yet will include 14 countries. they've been held every year since 2009 u. s. and it's asian allies of express growing concern about china's increasing influence in the pacific. a washington says the drills aren't aimed at any country . addition to jessica washington, i should say, joins us again from back to roger in indonesia and tell us we understand they're going to be more observers this time around. is that right? well that's exactly right. as you just mentioned, i carry that these are the largest exercises. this is the largest iteration of this car. rude, a shield that we've ever seen. these exercises have been held since the early 2, thousands and in their early stages. they were really just a bilateral exercise. now we are seeing perhaps a move towards if many lateralism involving other countries, not just as observers, but as participants as well, significantly a, quite a few milestones at this august. as this training begins here in indonesia, we have more

u. s. the other reading of course, is that we could see another escalation from china, further escalation, the u. s. responding. and we could see this, this relationship as i said, which is already is seen as frosty, descending even further. thank you for that. so me some escandone in washington dc or he has lucas and all the stories making headlines around the world. voters in the u. s. 8 of kansas have voted to maintain the right to abortion in a deeply conservative state. the vote was the 1st state wide referendum on abortion, since the u. s. supreme court overturned the national right to the procedure in june. the vote has been seen as a test case for abortion rights nationwide. the death toll from a wildfire in california is north, has risen to fall, the place has destroyed more than 100 homes since erupting last friday. authority saved the mckinney fire still remains out of control. despite rains earlier this week, if one of many places burning in the west of the country, the united states and the taliban have accused each other of violating agreed terms . after a c, i journey strike

u. s. other, some reports, for example, that were in the very proud fine on china times. it's one of these outlets that has been reported on as accepting editorial directions from china's town affairs office, as well as funding from china by ellen such as the financial times and apple daily the report on the china times drinks. they reported that taiwan tried to say no to the policy visit, but that they were over ruled. and so they were that danger. i think taiwanda and to protect they gets isn't oh, isn't the danger of being caught between us politicians from both camps and their attempts to demonstrate their strong on china using taiwan play up support for taiwan as a way to really seem strong on china when your actual target audience is u. s. motors. let me ask you then, is there a demographic situation here in terms of young people in taiwan comport compared i should say to the older population. how do they, how do they see it? so young people in taiwan overwhelmingly identify were it's our rather than china and their concerns and recent years and about the possibilit

u. s. other, some reports, for example, that were in the very pro china china times. it's one of these outlets that has been reported on as excepting editorial direction from china's town affairs office . as well as funding from china by ellen such as the financial times and up of daily the report on the china times doing. they reported that taiwan tried to say no to the closer visit, but that they were overruled. and so they were that danger. i think taiwanda and to protect they got isn't always in the danger of being caught between us politicians from both camps and their attempts to demonstrate their strong on china using taiwan. play up support for taiwan as a way to really seem strong on china when your actual target audience is us voters . so the head heron, al jazeera, influential, iraq, he political leader, mac tada, goes on his supporters to leave parliament and continue this sitting outside as both sides warned their dead protest is in a democratic republic of congo. say they'll keep up the pressure on un peacekeepers to leave ah the hello, but they still ha

u. s. u. k, russia, china, france. what about the other suspected nuclear powers? israel india, pakistan. why is it ok for them, i guess u. s. allies to, to have these weapons, but not there is a theory. say iran i can get the great question. and then also, you know, to deal with the gatekeeping of the kind of power they have a vide, you're writing the roles into, has and has not. and even, you know, where it is right in there and it's better outside 3, nbc, and have new services. i considered to be illegitimate, nuclear weapons states they're calling nuclear states, possess the states, but not too big. so even with their electric on, you know, you're trying to control power and as to what it means to these countries. i believe that, you know, increase like is right. for example, there is hardly any conference that i have on your residence in which, you know, it drives invisible. nobody talks about his eyes, you can read and nobody talks about, you know, what you're shopping, the lease from achieving and nuclear and treason. very all the other countries on board, except for right now you'r

u. s. and other industrialized nations rise? well, we do see differentiation amongst, ah, in the emerging markets, investors are differentiating between the different countries. those emerging markets which have strong external account positions, ah, strong current account balances and low foreign debt have been much more resilient . despite the volatility that we're seeing in global capital markets and foreign exchange markets. however, they are a growing number of emerging markets and developing countries that have week external account positions. and what's all sorts of that which are those which are those particularly affected very large number of countries. so, you know, we've, we've, we've sat listing, it could take quite a long time, but up, oh, i'll give you some examples of some of those countries. so basically when we look at the world of emerging markets, though, asset of weak external account positions, high foreign debt, low foreign exchange reserves, and large current account deficits, they face more stress in this

u. s. and both actually try to become less re, i have low, reliable from each other. i mean, in the past 20 years. so, so, i mean, we created this term key america. so china buys all the u. s. debt, and then on the other side, america imports achieve a goods from a china to put it may be a bit too simplistic. now america tries to produce stuff somewhere else, but in china, more and told. so that is one to a tendency, and china on the other side has already started to buy less or almost no u. s. a debt, meaning treasury so, so clearly that comerica has come to an end. there are still some dependencies, they won't vanish overnight about the relations clearly according nora jens quarter in new york. thank you. let's go now to some of the other global business stories making headlines. a u. s. court has ordered 3 drug store changed to pay $650000000.00 for their roles in the countries opioid crisis. walgreens, walmart, and c, v us must pay to find to to ohio counties to compensate for the costs of fighting addiction. the retailers deny complicity saying they merely sold pi

i know i've been assured by others in the u. s. government, for example, in my client's case, that he should be clear to go. but that then didn't happen. so it's, and i know others have had similar experiences. so i know it's just tremendously frustrating for them. so if see response from the state department told the department of defense is so vague. how do you 5 out, how do you say my client or indeed anyone has a right to this? if you don't know the reason that they've been denied it, yes, that is very frustrating because in a typical immigration case, if someone is denied, you can at least appeal. but that that doesn't seem to be happening here. this isn't going through what would be more, more typical immigration procedures. so they're really so far i've found really isn't anything they can be done in a specific case. i'm a seems to be no climb full. ok if you are denied and no one else will take you. what them that isn't clear, it's my understanding that the state department has told the individuals who remain that they wil

u. s. visa, others have received neither a yes or no. residents are not allowed to leave the camp and d w's request. a visit was denied. the situation is not with this evacuee shared a video and his views, but wishes to remain anonymous for security reasons. frustration boiled over earlier this summer. evacuation protested, holding sign, saying we want justice. this resident says the information vacuum is worse than being in prison. the prisoner with why he's here for how long he will be in detention if he asked, don't give us a reason. that's why we are in the skin and for how lun, former afghan intelligence, chief mohammed, our reefs, our warri is among those rejected for us for settlement. his attorney, julie sirs, calls his situation shocking. i don't think there is any individual in afghanistan who did more than mister sar worry did to help the united states post 911. i think the treatment is highly improper, especially in cases like my clients who provided tremendous assistance at great risk to his life. when us built camp leah, it

u. s. u and other western nations of pledge to keep up the pressure on me and mom with the u. k, announcing new sanctions targeting businesses linked to its military. tanveer child reports now from cox as bizarre. the size of what's become the world's largest refugee camp for refugees live here is challenging. overcrowded and fragile shelter surrounded by barbed wire fences. bend from pharma litigation work and travel. refugees said they are frequently harassed by police and camp authorities. violence trafficking, child marriages, and drug related crimes are increasing inside the camp. as there are cotton flat to bangladesh in 2017, she has 3 children. 2 of them were born in the camp. she was worried about their future. father, we had enough. we want to go back home to me and mar soon so that our children can get some education and have a normal life on their safe. it has done more than enough and it's time for the un and global community to deal with the plight of the refugees. so half of us up we have been here for 5 years already. if we have to stay here longer, in that cas

u. s. and other troops in the region. how do you think this visit is being regarded by the neighboring countries around taiwan and china? think everyone's watching very closely. they've been very aware of the pressure that's been been building up in the anticipation of this trip, whether widow would not go ahead. i think the fact that we've now got a huge amount of chinese military power deployed very close to taiwan will make people rather nervous. there is the potential for a clash, an accident of some sort, but i think they're also where the president biden has been speaking to. president sheeting thing was spoken of several times the last couple of weeks. and i think they are acutely whether both of those sides will be trying very hard to avoid any potential clash that this raises tensions in the region, i think will be a concern for some. but i think they'll also be keen to see how the americans read, whether this is part of a policy of sustain pressure. whether this is just going to be a flash in the pan to put chin

u. s. both countries play a key role in organizing it. there are the other countries participating this year, japan and australia, but both those countries and the other observers make note that this is really a practice, a tradition that has many years of history between the u. s. and indonesia. what is significant this here is that we're seeing this scaling up not no longer just a normal ga rudo shield, but what the u. s. and in the major a calling a super rude a shield. it is likely, and we can expect that some of the countries observing this year for the 1st time, may indeed become participants in future iterations of gertrude a shield. now the both organizers have made a point of stressing that this exercise is merely an exercise. it should not be viewed as a threat to any country that message it seems to be pointed specifically at bay jing, as china has in the past raised concerns about this grew to shield exercise, but it's unclear whether that message will in fact be received. considering that at last, he has grid a shield exercises badging did in fa

u. s. and other countries. the factors that before the war, the west ignored all the justified demands of russia when it comes to perceived national threats. so, we know that russia told the west their specific views, but the west ignore that because they wanted to bring about this conflict. so they could use ukraine to bring russia to its knees, which has not happened. i believe that it's unlikely to actually happen as i can see and understand what the west did by imposing these sanctions, has cause more harm to themselves than to russia. russia's military operation as preceding according to plan sir. busy the approach grew up on the lift and i think the political western police do not live the average life of the western people at all. they are more trapped by their ideas of a neo liberal concept which provides for their prosperous lives. those deletes the multinational companies the bank as they are ignoring the realities of the situation. they believe that they cannot be exposed to the stabilization in thei

u. s. cannot accept this result. we may need a war ah, the u. s. will attack china. japan and korea may be dragged in just as other countries during world war one were dragged in against their will because they were a locked into these alliances. and this could be a very, very bad outcome. you know, until in hong kong, before all this happened, strategic ambiguity was considered something good. ok, basically it was a squaring the circle. i know the us recognizes that taiwan is part of china, though they could have some independent contact with, with taiwan and a kind, you know, everybody, you know, parlayed and it worked. now i think it stopped working here. so strategic ambiguity is turning into a negative thing. now go, head in hong kong for china was never an ambiguity. data. china knew all along the long term plan. this is not the 1st time that the u. s. is going against a chinese sovereignty, and he just mentioned before in hong kong, the attempt of color revolution in hong kong was full sponsored back by the u. s. addition to that they were financing e t. i n the separatist wiggers engine, john and a lot of

u. s. president roosevelt also gives a speech supporting the u. s. s. ha. but there are other political forces in the united states returned makes his speech in december of 41. and the senate is as if the russians are when they wish that of board the germans at the germans or when we support the russians. and that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west at this time. dangerous destructive, roosevelt wound stanalin of japan's intention to attack the soviet union. but soviet intelligence report, state the via tag is still in doubt. it's imperative that the u. s. makes it clear to japan that if they attack the soviet union will have support but the british and american authorities will not support the ussr. the u. s. military assures roosevelt germany quickly conquer russia on the way to the church. she recalled that 4 out of 5 warded mom and experts at no doubt that russia would be no town in a few days. ah, meanwhile, the red army is withstanding a serious black with the russians of the 1st serious adversary. mm. to store says, you say you

u. s. late many others as well include germany. and i think they did the best job under the circumstances because you look it up in the said, there are 3 ways of looking at if you look at the last 20 years of the intervention, there's some people called occupation. if you look at the year that just passed, as you said, it look at what has happened to the african people since then what are the talking about doing what is it the national community doing and reaction to all of that. and then you look at the microcosm of those 2 weeks where the focus was on. so many people wanting to leave in the evacuation in how things may have gone wrong. and some people think that it is the best of the circumstances. and what about what has happened in this past year? the international community does not recognize the taliban. i'm as the official, the leadership in government of afghanistan. as a result. you don't have foreign aid money going into the country. the you win now says that may be as many of 6000000 afghans could go hungry every day, or

i mean, do you see any logic to this other than the u. s. this is terrified of losing. it's a gemini, and it's being, it's lashing out all over the globe. go ahead in hong kong. it is a desperate move. it's a, it's panicking. it's an impiety dispatch panicking. it's, it's saying actually that things are moving on the bricks than on a line. would you have you had the, what did i, she is a lying behind the china and russia and the panicking because there's a new one older, especially economically there's a di dollarization ahead and this will accelerate the collapse of the west. so this is the last move. what they want to do is a parallel. well, you see in ukraine, they wanted to fight russia to the last ukranian. what would happen, what the hope to achieve in the region is to fight china to the last i, when he's and then not only taiwanese might actually lose the lifes. you might have actually japanese to move in. and this is not only a containment of china, this is if this happened, it could be containment of, or se, asia, in, in the whole, the whole global south as she
