Under the agreement, the australian government will get nuclear power submarines. It seen as an effort to counter Beijings Influence in the pacific. But china says it alone intensify an arms race. Rosa jordan starts our coverage from washington d. C. ThE U. S. U k and australia reportedly agreed to form a new Defense Alliance on the sidelines of this years g. 7 summit in england, washington in london will help it by a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. The main reason for the alliance containing china, we spoke in detail about china as the stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to course and intimidate other countries. Contrary to establish rules and norms, we all remain clear eyed and our view beijings efforts to undermine the established international order. We discussed the competition of china at a number of levels that requires us to respond and to increase resilience. This does not mean that there are not constructive areas for engagement with china straight. It continues to Sake Dialogue with china without pre conditions. Not surprisingly, beijing condemned both the alliance and the Submarine Deals. War war, Lee Archive who attended the export of highly sensitive nuclear Power Spring Technology by thE United states and britain to australia once again proves that they arE Using nuclear exports as a tool of geopolitical games on adopting double standards, which is extremely irresponsible. Attending in Washington Journalist pummeled the ministers with questions about the Security Pack is check in chinas efforts worth offending it or offending long standing partners. This is about enhancing our, our cooperation, our work together ultimately about enhancing Security Stability in the pacific. It is not aimed at any country. Its certainly not aimed at holding anyone back. The announcement of this new alliance could signal that thE Us president Joe Biden has decided to reshape american foreign policy, bolstering new alliances to deal with new threats. While telling old partners that change is not a diplomatic death knell. Rosalind jordan Al Jazeera, the state department, but the british prime Minister Barak Johnson had been questioned about the orcus packed in parliament. His previous S Theresa may asked if it could lead to thE U. K. Being dragged into a war with china of a tie, one most of the implications of this pact, the stance that would be taken by thE United kingdom of ritz response, should China Attempt to invade taiwan. To speak, the kingdom remains determined to defend national law. And we, that is the strong advice you would give to our friends across the world and strong advice that we would give to the, to the Government Invasion out there was under simmons as more from outside the british parliament, some sign of unease within mister johnsons own party, it would seem. Now this deal goes back some time and it was kept amazingly secret. It was discussed apparently at the g 7 summit in june and thE United kingdom and cold war. And there were further talk since then. But there is some way to go 18 months of a cooperation on the technology of the expertise of fully 3 countries coming together on this and whether or not the main parts of these a nuclear power submarines will come from thE U. K. All thE United states, but nevertheless, johnson is probably right in what he says, but tens of billions of dollars going to be invested in all of this. And he claims that things will be cheaper in the long run. Because of the Technology Corporation and technology for further defense spending, he, he more or less boasted that britain was in a situation our spending more on its Defense Budget that had done since the cold war with soviet union. Now, those where its cold war to send the ship some over of this new deal. He says johnson says that as far as hes concerned, this is a new chapter in military History And Britain are really important. One, the question is, what will be the epilogue . What will be the conclusion to this military investment . Well, the new alliance means paris has lost a multi 1000000000. 00 deal to build submarines for australia, the french government, angry, accusing the australians of stopping them in the back. Latasha butler force, the french president , a manual micro greeted angular merkel of a lease a palace for farewell dinner. As she prepared to step down as german chancellor. But he chose not to mention the diplomatic crisis that shaken his government, leaving fat to his foreign minister to mobile phones. As we say in france, its Radius Dive in the back. We created a relationship of trust with Australia And Today that trust has been broken. Australia has pulled out of a 5 year old multi 1000000000. 00 Submarine Deal with paris after signing a new defense packed with thE Us and u. K. Aimed at counter in Chinas Influence in the indo pacific region. The more in House Server they discussed, the defense packed with parents before it was announced, the french authorities contest that this union lateral, brutal, unpredictable decision reminds me a lot of what mr. Trump used to do. Bidens decision to sign the pact and exclude key allies is likely to further strain transatlantic relations. It may also both the growing sentiment in the E U that thE U. S. Is an increasingly unreliable partner and the block must become more autonomous. Today, do you adopted and delicious 1st in the vast strategy which is a straight to thats your bands. Want to tell you wrong in that region. And france is katie driving actor in that matter. Its unclear what action the french government could take over, cambra, scrapping of the contract. The agreement was known in france as the deal of the century, which is why its collapse has left paris feeling particularly angry and betrayed. Natasha butler. Ill just sarah paris. But taliban has denied reports. Its leaders are in a major Power Struggle. The group says its propaganda and destabilizing chemist. On and discrediting the movement of bar reports from combo pledging allegiance to the taliban tribesman, dignitaries, and members of the former government in kandahar the birthplace of the taliban and the seat of power. A show of unity at a delicate moment for the group that swept into the capitol last month. But the taliban is now denying rumors of a possible Power Struggle and in fighting among its senior leadership repose. Also suggested deputy prime minister de la Honey Brother was sidelined as the room is spread. The taliban dispatched one of its officials. And thats how connie, with one message to convey the taliban is morE United than ever even more, la brother later appeared himself in a video explaining why he hasnt been seen in public for the last few days, most for pardon or the car, but i was traveling from top to so i had no access to the media in order to reject this new. We assure the dentist on nation mature, dane elders and you not to worry. Theres no reason to worry. But many outlines, were, were, they fear a prolonged Leadership Crisis thats may create more poverty, and uncertainty was the wrong or crowd in the past, there was peace and people had their jobs. Now people are hungry and many are anxious about what may happen next. That isnt and we see what the i joined the taliban 3 years ago. My hopes, prosperous and peaceful, laughed honest down. This is my biggest wish. As winter approaches, tens of thousands of people who fled their homes recently. We need food. And so thE Un has wound the country may phase a severe humanitarian situation.

Nitrous has more now from con, accurate. The most surprising aspect for the military here in guinea is the short notice. The short deadline took for transition to civilian rule 6 months. Not the least. They expected. Many of them were probably looking at the molly model. By the way, they copied the molecule in total, they have the Depos President still in custody, hoping to use him as a bargaining chip. Now, of course is coming with this idea of 6 Months Transition to democratic rule. So the other thing is the functions imposed on the military rulers. Very few of them. Again, yes, i agree have accounts or businesses outside of the shows of guinea, so that will not be much effective on them. But again, this is a government, this is June Tab that has taken over power nearly 2 weeks ago and is still yet to form a government. They still holding consultations with their stakeholders, religious leaders, political leaders, activities and civil society, minors and business community. In order to form a government and also approach the transition program, they have not concluded that consultations yet. Yet a course came with this with this new sanctions on them. Again, we expect the Course Delegation to be here very soon to deliver the message of the lead us of the West African region of buck, economic community or West African states to the lead us. Yeah.
