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. don't forget the manual macro said a couple years ago that data was brain dead. even donald trump said that nato isn't working, as it was initially supposed to be working or alliances within the alliance. what kind of lion is this? where people use drop or contracts are taken over us doesn't have, didn't have a allied, it only has targets or it has vessels. australia, the us on france repeatedly cited the suppose it's security threat from beijing in the in the pacific region where china is the dominant power and the signing of the orchestra security pipe companies. just months off, the britain infuriated beijing by sending its war ships to the south china sea to join, so called freedom of navigation operations, led by washington and china has condemned the new lions calling it a throwback to the cold war. countess should not build exclusionary blocks targeting or harming the intere

s. and the u. k. of stub through 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 notes and regret let's go through the new agreement. it's called orcus and the 3 nations will sure data on strategic areas including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and nuclear defense. now, under the terms is truly will acquire a nuclear powered submarine fleet with the use of american and british technology. not in a further snub to paris history has scrapped a 66000000000 dollar deal with a french firm to build it doesn't military submarines. now, that's just the latest blow to the use defense industry, really at the time when members states are struggling to meet their financial commitment to nate. so now there's also long running divisions in the block over creating its own army.

why are the u. s. and the u. k. now, at this time helping a straight ya 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 just of course, and 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 nuclear submarine. i think the under one key 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 forces in china sea and also in the pacific region, especially now that there is increasing tension between china and australia. so china is watching very c

even within australia, the 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 ini

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 across the way, we're introducing you to the different

k and the u. s. signed a pacific security packed called orchestra seen as countering china and involves cooperation in the realms of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and nuclear defense. australia will acquire a nuclear power submarine fleet with american and british technology. china, which is the dominant power in the indo pacific region, as can done deal, is being cold war mentality. neither washington nor london have explicitly linked the new deal to the supposed threat from basing the remarks from the us defense secretary left little room for doubt. we spoke in detail about china, the stabilizing activities in beijing is efforts to course and intimidate other countries. this agreement, this relationship does not aim that anything or anyone. while china and friends of angry about the new pact, others are asking what it could mean to nato. katrinka sons the latest reactions. when donald trump left office and joe biden took charge, it could have been a sigh of relief for some of washington

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 suc

k. called all cas, but haven't the u. s. the u. k. and all these been calls allied 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 $1000000000.00 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 off 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're happily, it is a good opportunity to recall to reflect on the need to raise the issue of european strategic auton

on the surface, we see that the u. s. and the u. k. is empowering australia to have nuclear submarine. i think the under one key 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 yourself, china and also pacific region, especially now that there is increasing potential between china and china. you're watching very closely the next steps of this free country alliance on now, europe is raining for a price shock on its energy markets. natural gas rates have an all time record on wednesday of almost a $1000.00 per 1000 cubic meters. that's how the markets were cost looks on wednesday. the price peaks at $980.00, which is more than 50 percent high than 2 weeks ago. by late evening, things come down so much that unless our warning of father volatility, the current crisis is being blamed partly on energy policy is bei

s. and u. k. the deal between the u. k. u. s. in austria is widely seen as an effort to count of china's influence in the region. recalling ambassadors in the carefully coded language of diplomatic relations is, is a pretty serious move. it's not the breaking off of diplomatic relations, but it's what you do, what you want to show to a country that you really are not happy with the way it's behave. and let's not forget that france is the united states oldest allies, allies, a relationship that goes back to 1778. when france recognized the independence of these breakaway colonial states. and help them in that war of independence against the british b, u. s. military, as i mentioned, a drone strike and i've kinda sounds capital last month, kill civilians of not isolate sciences. 10 people including 7 children, died in the attack. in cobble top us commander has apologized guineas. military leaders say that they will not bow to international pressure to let detained president of a condo fly into exile. the west african regional block

s. australia and the u. k. have announced the new indo pacific security alliance known as orcus. it's 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 sailors, our scientists, and our industries maintain and expand our edge and military capabilities and critical technology such as cyber artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and undersea domains. now, as a key project under archive, we are launching consultations with australia acquisition of conventionally our nuclear powered submarine has been less as a shipment of fuel from iran has arrived in lebanon to help ease widespread shortages. the group says 20 tank trucks entered through the syrian border. has bala says it will share the fuel free of charge, would state hospitals and nursing homes. laina hotter has more from beirut. hello, organize the shipment of fuel and diesel to lebanon. us sanctions. iranian oil to allev

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

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, obviously for the u. k. u. s tre. 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. you should remember that over a 1000000000 dollars 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 respective u. k. jobs and american jobs are dependent on u. k. business. so it's very smart move by the british empathy. 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 to does anybody in th

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 title. it's not just a bass, 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. it requires explanations and involves talking to one another, not hiding from one another on matters of importance. that did not happen. and we need to talk about us. foreign minister le john made clear that he would not be meeting with the us secretary of state, all the australian foreign minister here at the u. n. g. a. however, the french president mccall is expected to hold a phone call with president biden in coming days. this will be a virtual conversation, as president mc con has remained in france within

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

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

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 dee

s. the u. k. and australia referred to as august for his part british prime minister boris johnson claim the deal isn't targeting any other powers in the world. opus is not intended to be adversary towards any other power, mister speaker, but it merely reflects the close relationship that we have with the united states and with australia, the shared values that we have in the sheer level of trust between us that enables us to go to this extraordinary extent of sharing nuclear technology. now all the submarines won't actually be equipped with nuclear weapons. it's no secret that tensions with china and the indo pacific have increased significantly in recent years, as the us has called on its allies to stand up to beijing with an increased military presence. prime minister scott morrison defended the decision to drop its deal with france saying australia is acting in the best interest of its own company. it is not an uncommon thing for countries to take interest decisions in their own strategic inte

here though, how the headlines on al jazeera, the u. s. straightly and the u. k. have announced a new endo pacific security alliance, known as orcus. it's being seen as part of a strategy to count of china's influence in the region. australia will receive nuclear power submarines as part of the agreement with china delivered its latest criticism of the alliance through its foreign ministry. which said that the partnership is damaging, regional peace and security spokesman added the providing a straight ear with nuclear submarine. technology will hurt international anti proliferation efforts. our white house correspondent, kimberly held trip reports. there is the concern about the alliance. the fact that this is a partnership made up of just australia and the united states in the u. k. and joe biden promised that his foreign policy would be multi lateral, that it would be working in conjunction with partners and allies. but there are countries including new zealand, as well as friends that are saying, hey, we weren't included in this and were considering was a majo
