Unveiled to the public for the 1st time its new fighter the k f x its most ambitious Defense Project to date. And the even more sophisticated f. 35 lightning purchased from the u. S. I think weve seen a lot of interest in the after the fire so beyond that i mean thats very good for our business of course by think its very good for the security of the region south koreas liberal president moon j. N. Is overseeing this expansion even as he pursues his policy of reconciliation with north korea which continues to develop its nuclear arsenal. This is the negative outcome of the Current Administration and south korea has already said peace has arrived at this point south korea in an illogical position because unless north korea denuclearize as they cant be peace on the peninsula. North korea has blamed south koreas military buildup in part for its testing of more sophisticated missiles in recent months and it comes as questions are raised about the long term commitment of south koreas traditional ally the United States. The sudden announcement by u. S. President donald trump to pull troops out of syria as a loan to many here its reinforced the belief that south korea has to become more selfreliant militarily especially when its neighbors are rapidly expanding their armies. Japan under its conservative Prime Minister shinzo has increased its military spending for 8 consecutive years thats jew in part to the north korean threat but also to the increasing size of chinas military. Who put in until the root causes north Koreas NuclearWeapons Development and its continued threats to its neighbors thats why south korea and japan have to prepare and theres chinas military buildup and its expansionist policies. North east asian neighbors seemingly committed to an arms race that no one wants to lose robert bridle jazeera song and south korea the government of bangladesh has put severe restrictions on range of refugees from myanmar many have had their mobile phones taken away and some are having a children were even forced to drop out of school tanveer child tree has more from coxs bazar. 2 years after the exodus running those trapped in the Worlds Largest refugee camp are finding it hard to cope with the recent restrictions.

The mobile phone and internet ban is evidence of governments increased frustration a young man told us about his recent experience we have not identified him at his request. A few days ago Police Stopped me and asked me where and when i got my sim card mobile phone after a brief interrogation and a lot of abusive language towards me they snatched my mobile phone and kept Rights Groups say that communication restrictions put nearly 1000000 refugees at serious risk unable to communicate with Emergency Services and points that the International Covenant on civil and Political Rights is explicit on the right of freedom of expression for every person including for displaced populations we dont really want that we are living in the cage because you know we have been living in myanmar in the cage for more than 27 years because of some a few bad people more than anybody and should not be so far for those people activity there is also an increase in security presence in the camp and its making many refugees nervous. You know we have no problem government decides to erect barbed wire fence in the camps by this in itself is not an assurance for peace or rather it might have a negative effect in the community. The recent killings and pushback of running or trying to scrape from me im plus expulsions of refugee children from local education institutions and the threat of relocating thousands of refugees to an isolated island reflects a tougher stand taken by the Bangladesh Government communication blackout restrictions of movement and i plan for a bar where friends around the camp has led to an increased sense of frustration and anxiety among growing our refugees and the prospect of returning home to me and my looks even more distant thunder drudgery aljazeera. Now the president ial race in the United StatesSenate Democrats and republicans will battle for support in the midwest which is important to winning the white house next year in 30 of the past 32 elections the candidates who won in ohio won the presidency and that includes donald trump this is why the state was chosen for the democrats for candidates debate john hendren explains whats at stake. For democrats its a showdown in the american heartland the 4th president ial debate analysts say a contest between the Democratic Partys extremes i believe it will be a face off as we are looking at Public Opinion polls where say theyre essentially tied and its looking more and more like a race between more. On one end of the party spectrum the establishment candidate former Vice President joe biden on the other the progressive massachusetts senator and the new front runner Elizabeth Warren. Who do you like i like biden and one because i think hell settle things down and get things on an even keel here work with the other side get things done and i think Elizabeth Warren can beat him i do i think because she always is on point she has plans she has you know policy she does exist get up there and get into like argument with them but with a dozen candidates spanning the same stage its also the largest debate yet one that offers the prospect of a breakout moment for any of them are you forgetting what you said to magically appeared for. Already what you said just 2 minutes ago it will be the site of many firsts the 1st debate since impeachment proceedings for President Trump and every candidate on the day as wants him impeached but there are many many of us up stairs right now making signs to support donald trump tomorrow for Bernie Sanders the 1st debate since he was sidelined by a heart attack for joe biden the man with the most to lose the 1st debate since President Trump asked ukraine to investigate him for Elizabeth Warren the 1st debate since surging polls have made her the front runner in this race for the Democratic Party picked ohio for good reason its known as the bellwether state in 30 of the 32 past elections the candidate who won here won the presidency the latest was donald trump this time the democrats want to deny him this trendsetting state. For 2nd tier candidates this is a chance to rise to the top tier in postdebate polls its going to narrow its already been hovering. So well see how many call it quits qualifying for the next round will be harder so for the other candidate failing to gain traction here could make ohio the end of the campaign trail john hendren 0 westerville ohio. Now voting is underway in mozambiques general election that could see the governing party extended stay long roll the election is taking place 2 months after the signing of a peace deal with longtime rival the Opposition Party present. Is seeking a 2nd term but he faces a strong challenge from her enamels also for mama day the 2 sides for for 16 years in a conflict that killed nearly a 1000000 people. Covering this election forest joins us now live from mozambiques capital marcum has a voting going so far. We visited several polling stations this morning people having queuing for 3 hours waiting in line to vote right now in the center which is the coalition tally Center Integration center for a coalition of Rights Groups and election observers and with me is the former president of ghana it was to John Muhammad who is leading an Observer Mission is the mom of one of the things that weve heard about is that to be a 1000 observers havent been given accreditation to be able to attend the polling stations today what will tell us about the. Major challenge with this election and i think that its huge. The process should be simplified so that more people can be ready to. Give a certain integrity to an election and the fact that they are available and watch and see what happens is good for the process. I mean form this in 2 steps you get the official letter and then you have to go for the bites and it complicates the process i mean theres a one stop shop where you get your attention letter and you get a badge it will help speed up the process but. A lot of people who wanted to be part of the process of the being able to write scripts in opposition have complained about the votes as well just to take you to ready a province which is a fairly willing posse stronghold where they say that there are 300000 more ready people on the electoral register than there are adults living in the province according to the governments own data but the Electoral Commission defended this surely this is a massive problem for next year if we have a legit of over 300000 people in probably. Its a disputed issue the Electoral Commission doesnt believe that that is the case but ive said based on reports show that you know the numbers so much we got them to should be you know much i want to call it it was dismissed and so i dont think theres much anybody can do about it and in the lead up to the election one observer was killed in gaza province. By assailants who later it was revealed belonged to a special police unit does this kind of violence what does that say about about this let this election yeah unfortunately it points into the election environment. Totally unnecessary we dont know what the motivation for thats met that was but the assailants some of the suspected the simmonds have been arrested and i think that is the duty of the security of their sister go into the matter and let justice be done but its most muslim fortunate that it happened ok thank you very much that was John Muhammad the former president of ghana thats near and. Thank you very much for. Marcum why break 14 theyre from mozambiques capital not porto and finally judges for this years booker prize have ignored say on roles and names to win is british author ben a dane ever risto and canadian vita Margaret Atwood will share the prestigious award and the 63000. 00 prize that would won for the testaments everest so for girl woman there everest as the 1st black woman to win the book what becomes the 2nd woman to win it twice.
