i - think this is really about australia having the ability defend itself. if you want —— if you went back five years ago, most israelis would not have supported this kind of nuclear powered submarine, they would not have thought it was necessary, but because china has been so threatening, notjust to do taiwan, but in other countries, and using various forms of coercion, i think many australians now feel like they need more capability, but this is not capability for australia, to defend taiwan, is about australians defending themselves and about the united kingdom and the united states helping them to do so. zach united kingdom and the united states helping them to do so.— helping them to do so. zach cooper, thank ou helping them to do so. zach cooper, thank you so — helping them to do so. zach cooper, thank you so much. _ so clive sinclair, the trainer and inventor who in there pocket calculator and what the cynics spectrum and home computer up to the masses, has died at the age of 81. his drive and enthusiasm made him one of britain's main best—k

u k and australia, which includes nuclear submarines. ah, hello, i'm have them seek. this is jesse and i live from the whole set coming up. french special forces, say they've killed. i saw the leader in west africa, sal region, 20 tank trucks cross into lebanon, from syria, bringing desperately needed fuel to a country that nearly run dry and jakarta residents suing for clean air when a lawsuit against their president and other leaders. 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'

and australia. france, you are right, has extensive experience with submarines, propulsion, driving those systems, but one of australia's ministers earlier this week made the statement that, in reviewing the potential for a french nuclear submarine, it did not offer the same capabilities as a u.s. or u.k. system, so i think a combination of australia's judgment that the capabilities france has are not what it needs and the really difficult knot of sharing such important technology with france -- or anyone, not just france, other than the u.k. -- to share it with australia is hard enough. any other country would be even harder. host: (202) 748-8000 democrats, (202) 748-8001 republicans, (202) 748-8002 independents. when it comes to the biden administration's approach to china, to the differences and similarities with the obama administration? guest: the first similarity is willingness to have a conversation. the message from the biden administration, russia, china, others is we are open and willing t

k, australia security partnership. again at a time when e. u. member states are also struggling to meet the funding commitments in nato as well. so that could be a why to political backlash than just that of china. we thought we'd get reaction to this story by finding out what people are saying on the streets of paris. this is not the 1st time that night to states has taken con from us. they are very good at that. we do not respect anyone to talk from themselves. they act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done because i think it fronted on the same. they would have complained they wouldn't have liked it. we'll see if the current president is better than the last one. represents a lot of money, but a lot of jobs, but it would be better if these jobs were for making other things. but it's a little dishonest, i suppose. and the other hand, they were closest which allowed them to break the contract before they start making the submarines. no, it's never good for a person to see that a contract has been broken. it's happened to me person

china and france denounce a security pact between the us, the uk and australia that allows australia to build nuclear—powered

australia and the united states both have long—standing diplomatic disputes. i think all four members are motivated by concerns about china, but that's not to say there aren't other aspects. can see these are keen to give the impression they're working together. h0??? they're working together. how do ou they're working together. how do you think — they're working together. how do you think china _ they're working together. how do you think china views the quad and the closeness of these countries to the united states? i think with concern that we've seen with the dynamics following the aukus partnership as well. china has described quad as nato, so it's no surprise other countries are banding together. forming alliances that may affect its strategic planning and ability to project power. china may be asking itself questions about countries feel the need to do it is. i think it's also considering how it can respond effectively to it. doesn't need to develop closer security partnerships with some of its partnerships with some of its partners and friends. i thi

a said to australia, look, you've got to take sides. you've got to make a choice, you're either on board with us in this new cold war, or you were going to sink you, you're going down. and the same is true with the us relationship with other countries in the asia pacific region. however, these aren't the only countries in the region. we have to stop it as ourselves for a 2nd. what will indonesia feel like when it sees just it's southern neighbor with a fleet of nuclear arm attacks or nuclear howard, at least for the moment attack subs capable of reaching and capable between the region. this isn't known as the, the stabilizing for the region, but of course it's very stabilizing. if you have to be in the submarine ship building business, which a lot of washington is, was interesting. you bring up this phrase, cold war because that's actually the un secretary general as daniel as a damn. again, thank you for joining us. it's. we're going to continue the conversation. are we really having a cold war right now? and we'll be back to you soon
