in, in the pacific region. but more of the us, the united states needs to have an enemy. and this is quite warri some actually to the whole world. because china is not in the expansionist country, all china has been doing is expand the country's economy, economic activities, countries in the region, do not take china as a and b, and do not take china as a threat. the u. s. hasn't done anything with these countries and except pull p, so where us china has been looking into the actual needs of these countries in the pacific and to start establishing a very friendly polls with them. so i think this is a china threat as being fabricated to serve the needs of the american government. ah, india's financial crime fighting agency will investigate your position leaders over money laundering accusations. opposition to congress party president tanya gandhi and her son rahul, are accused of forming a shell company and illegally getting control of properties with $300000000.00. party members say there is no evidence of mone

and china, in the, in the pacific region are with china, for instance, reaching out recently to pacific nations, 10 small pacific island nations to offer them a security pact. you have the u. s. reaching out with yorkers, security packed that australia joined together with you. you are with the united kingdom, including nuclear submarines, and then you have indonesia in the midst of all of this, trying to stay out of this rivalry. and that is basically the setting for the discussion. so the indonesian president and the australian, a prime minister will half here these days are dog relations between nam indonesia and australia. haven't been the smoothest in their, in recent years. one things of their bought toolbox for example, is this visit being viewed as somewhat of a reset or that is what it's been framed from the australian side, at least. so a diplomatic priority giving to indonesia. and then a d. m. australian prime minister observed that indonesia would be the next regional superpower. and that is, of course, or something that the indonesian a president likes to here. on the othe

of a china is in, in the pacific region. but more of the us, the united states needs to have an enemy. and, and this is quite warri some actually to the whole world because china is not in the expansionist country and has never done anything wrong. never bullied, and the country never seek to change any government of any country. all china has been doing is to expand the country's economy, economic activities, doing business with different countries. and the, the recent visit of our foreign minister, 210 countries in the pacific islands actually shows exactly what china is due at the moment. so i think this is a china threat as being fabricated to serve the needs of the american government and perhaps some other interest groups in america. where you say that the american government needs an enemy didn't think it has its hands full with russia at the moment, given the current conflicts in ukraine. well that's, that's quite interesting actually because russia has already been taken as a nanny and now the focus is on china. thi

and so what we're going to see here is because it's ration in the pacific region by the ministration has a top new strategy. to lead from behind and trying to empower all the 5 iceman bowers and the quiz i. 5 pies, 5 ice members. so says you came straight in japan to pray more active and leadership role to try to share the burden of the united states in dealing with china. ok. so i think this is, this is, this is one of the main, one of the recent needs to do with so, so to that mr. by then can concentrate more on dealing with the economic demand of the american voters. i just off then manifest itself part. none, to what extent is this new group a threat to chinese interest in the indo pacific? how would you expect beijing to respond? ok, right. i think i think these are, this is not neo number one. we have seen these initiated post launch. i mean, the, all this was launch last year for timber and the, so far the initiative of august was to pull by submarine nuclear submarine technology to australia with the u. k. and the, i'm so that the so far does it. and then the u. k. u has been

the south pacific region will also likely be discussed. both united states and china have been stepping up their engagement there. participants will likely take up the invasion of ukraine as well as north korea, which has recently launched a series of ballistic missiles. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is scheduled to give an online address on saturday. >>> y >>> now, to eastern ukraine where two british citizens and a moroccan captured by pro-russian forces have been sentenced to death. they were accused of illegally fighting on behalf of ukraine's government as mercenaries. russia's news agencyays the two british nationals were captured in mariupol in the donetsk region in mid april. the moroccan was caught in donetsk back in march. >> they were judging the circumstances in which i helped the situation, all because i surrendered to the donetsk people's republic. >> the court is not internationally recognized. ukraine and western governments have condemned the decision. in a tweet, britain's foreign secretary called the ruling a s

so china is certainly wary of expansion by nato, possibly into the pacific region. also nato relations with russia, not on their best report and had things to say, let's go back and talk about that for a little bit for that were joined with i was under bruno, an independent political analyse, analysed, thanks very much for being with us. exactly. have you with us? let me get right down to it. let me put in said that ukraine and the welfare of ukrainians is not a goal. but a tool of the wes pretty powerful words. what are the west collective goals when it comes to the situation in ukraine these days, given that it frequently appears to be fractional wise? well i'm, i still haven't gotten around to understanding what exactly the west is trying to do because it really doesn't make any sense. there is one logical answer that i can find. however, it is that the military industry is one of the few last bastions of technology. that's that house, that has its industry in house. it's not outsourced. so nato benefits by expanding and bye bye, are remaining relevant at least i

is doing is talking it's not so much of a, china's in, in the pacific region. but more of further us, the united states needs to have an enemy. and, and this is quite warri, some actually to go to the whole world. because china is not an expansionist country, all china has been doing is to expand the country's economy, economic activities. countries in the region, do not take china as an enemy and do not take china as a threat of the u. s. hasn't done anything with these countries and except talking . so whereas china has been a, you know, looking into the actual needs of these countries in the pacific and to start establishing a very friendly pulse with them. so i think this sir, the china threat as being a fabricated to serve the needs of the american government. ah, according to the un 60 general antonio gutierrez, the unfolding global food crisis cannot be solved without supplies from russia and ukraine. as warning comes amid further delays of vital shipments through the regions including africa, we need quick and decisive action to ensure a steady flow of
