The us that its ready to respond to any threats to its sovereignty. In the end of pacific region, thats after the rival powers held military talks in hawaii. Meanwhile, us treasury secretary genet, yolanda says china will face significant consequences if its companys help russia in the ukraine complex. The american official is in beijing, where shes already met the countries premier and vice minister. Ellens to her accomplishment washingtons concerns about chinas manufacturing over capacity and the chief exports that america sees as unfair competition. The treasury secretary has also said the aging and washington are trying to find Common Ground through some shop talk on the more so another worrying trend for the us as china is rising popularity in southeast asia, which washington considers its own sphere of influence. In a notable shifting sentiments, china has experienced the surgeon population, the among respondents from South East Asia climbing from 38. 9 percent last year to 50. 5 percent this year. Edging ahead to become the preferred alignment choice in the region. Its frustrating when you put in the book, but dont get the results. So shed a tear for washington. Wish to spend the last 12 months building up the china book human need find beijing is dont scary enough to send its neighbors running because its neighbors are real. A smoke volume to logs, like those who spoke the corridors of the capital. So they see the us ramping up on supplies to taiwan. They see delegates and often delegation flying in, and they had president bite and promising the tune of american peace. So unlike ukraine to be clear, sir, us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. Yes. They know the blog post that would inevitably follow. They also know that china is options largest trading partner that beijings investments in the region a growing year on. Yes. But every single one of them is a beneficiary of the vote and vote initiative. So chinas Economic Health is that Economic Health. The us targeting this lifeline by sloppy on the terrorists restricting access to might put ships and judging allies the site onto the china take down. No, quite the winning strategy. And its really not reassuring when the ideologues to show what length theyll go to, to kill off the competition. This is one of the interesting ideas, its unplugged, put it out there for deterrence is just being very clear to the chinese that if you invade taiwan, were going to blow up ts mc. Just throw that out. Not because thats necessarily the best strategy for the exam and then, and then of course the highest, the tie want to use really dont like this idea, right . How theyre blowing up and see if you do that, you have a to trillion dollar nomic impact on the Global Economy within the 1st year, and youd put manufacturing around the world at a standstill. I mean, this would be, this is a terrible idea. Im not promoting the idea. Im not promoting the idea. Michelle, youre just saying make it a bit. What im saying is these are some of the things that are actually actively being debated amongst us. Yeah. Might see us policy makers, American Foreign policy is also failing to went out in a region with a large muslim population, which is horrified by washingtons by king of israel to the last palestinian costs is 0. Solve mentality one thats on roster will china fails to hit the mark among nations who are traditionally neutral have ties, including military ones that extend way back decades. Im still believe and diplomacy the nation member states, including the see thing and fall, want to maintain good relations with both the us and aging. The one make us use we will refuse pictures. I dont work for amazing. I dont work for washington, dc. I work for the philippines, so im on the side of the philippines and that really translates into a very simple statement of foreign policy, which is, and i promote the national interest, but peace is not a classic investment for the us minute to baseball. Yes. Well, in fact, while china has built bridges and railways, washington spent 2023 splashing the cache on yet more basis throughout the se, on region. Its funny, isnt it . How rocking off in a neighborhood, far, far away freshening to stop bulls to blow up the Global Economy . And why daniel . Things are telling everyone to fool in line, eventually lose this you some good . Well, a turkish day of political research. Our is smell. Armand says washington and its allies are desperately trying to cling on to their waning influence in asia and beyond. The teaching didnt to be the full amount colonial actors of the usa in europe and the existing well, will want to maintain that hedge human a. So its not easy for them to recognize china is the 1st economy that playing countless games against china will similarly against russia. Though the only military powers in the world can compare with us. But it serves western interests. They dont recognize any human rights so low as they provide taiwan when needed. They provide the ukraine, russia issue when needed. They provided gauze that a wide range of different issues as well. So this opened the in the numerous attacks and the israel, im us war welts, people felt like a bug care felt helpless. Turning towards china. China is Economic Cooperation with a huge exist that raja regional integrations are becoming a mutual prejudices, rehabilitating possible, minute, truly sick fears. I think these are also important. On the other hand, i believe turning towards china is a way to balance the us. And i think this is the right way to, i believe china also needs to learn this lesson, otherwise, from a distance geography. What does the us have to do with the Asian Pacific . For example, people are asking this, what does it have to do with the situation between the states that parents seems like holding a referee from a fall when they best cant get along. But history shows that when that referee of rise, it will home, both parties, therefore neighboring countries have to get along a seal the, you know, the around in israel are on a collision course. And a region thats already on fire to ron has about to take revenge for an is rarely strike on the radio and consulate in syria, which claimed that 13 lives, including senior military commanders, racing for retaliation. Israel has closed the 28th of its diplomatic offices around the world, are on this top military commander has threatened to take decisive action. The operations conducted at the right time with precision and prudence, and with the necessary caution to maximize damage to the enemy, would definitely lead to its regret and make it repent freights actions. This, of course, comes in the wake of monday, strike on the con. See that the rainy and consummate in damascus and syria, and this is a very, very uh, momentous event, single country targeting a, another country in a 3rd country its, its a significant breach of diplomatic. No one was if you like. So thats the 1st thing to note that this stuff doesnt usually happen. Countries dont usually launch strikes on the diplomatic parity of a 3rd country in a 2nd country if you like. So thats a significant thing. The impact of dislike as well is, is interesting to a 7, a senior, a rainy and military officials were killed. In this, 2 of them were a brigadier generals, they were part of the codes force, which is the foreign operation side of the atlantic. Revolutionary guards core, so thats an as each military grouping which works with the rainy and allies and friends. The chief of staff of the rainy and military has said that a come member ration for one of the, those killed us at the, at this at that there wouldnt be response and that would happen at when the time was. Right. So this is feeding and fueling sense of imminence of, of an attack. Now, even a tele, any, how many the Supreme Leader feel like in, in ron has said that would be swift and definite, a response to this. Something thats very interesting is that the radiance of actually america is wales biggest out loud and remember american phones and politically supports the way the stays to a huge extent. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been f, the pumped into these very state. Most of it in military aid, so without americans support a lot of what is realtors in the region and is doing at the moment thing as what would be impossible that the radius of i should ask the americans to step aside and let us deal with the ladies in relation to dislike in a written message, these law mac republic of iran warn the us leadership not to get dragged into netanyahus trap, stay away so you wont get hurt. In response to the us, ask iran not to target american facilities that the americans have said that they expect and a rating response. As have these ladies who have suggested in senior is really on american. The face has suggested that theyre working together to try to get ahead of whatever this response may be. Now, that means it that b is really and the American Intelligence Services are working for. You just need to find out what exactly the response would be interesting to you, as well as the world watches and wait to see what happens as president biden. And Benjamin Netanyahu have a phone call this week. The key issue for discussion here has shifted from the, the, the, the solved and gaza, to how to manage this increasingly dangerous situation in the, in the wider middle east. And wed like to have a listen to watch at bingham in yet. And you have said, in the aftermath of that phone call with joe boyd, and i think its quite tele, closer names are you on board and theyve been for years in run has been action against us both directly. And while its process is that for israel is acting against the run and each process defensively and defensively, we will know how to defend ourselves. And it will act according to the simple principle of whoever homes us or plants to hom, us little hom, them there is a sense of expectation, not just from the, at the Global Community thats watching this very nervous and other countries in the region. So do you re view a rack all of these countries watching with a bated breath because it doesnt take much to put you off the powder keg. And whats really fascinating is that in this instance, is both israel, who is now preoccupied, if to a huge extent, with its more as it calls it in gaza. It has a huge amount of troops on the lebanese border facing off against hezbollah. Hes really military is no exceptionally l u hard stretched to accommodate the pressures on as a grade or conflict with the rom could push as well to drastic action. And remember that we know that as well as the noise, it could be in possession of, of significance. The destructive weapon we, lets say, and the world is watching at to see what happens next. The course well be watching to of the International Community reacted swiftly to the deadly is released right on monday. Russia and china expressed concern over the escalating tensions in the region. Moscow convened an emergency you and Security Council meeting over the issue, but the western powers use the session to try to shift the blame it to a ron. Former Us Marine Corps intelligence officer, scott ritter says he is really Prime Minister, has clearly made a willful decision to escalate the regional complex 1st of all is real, but it has been striking targets in syria for some time. Now, for the purpose of interdicting your ronnie, in capabilities in syria, and so to have such a senior, a rainy and revolutionary guard commander in syria of together with, you know, a country of other persians in one place was, i think, just too tempting of a target for israel, and the fact that they chose to strike a building that is protected under Diplomatic Convention shows that is real no longer cares about the rule of law about International Law. And this brings us to the deal, i think there ultimate motiv, benjamin danielle, who understands that he is only viable as a leader of israel, so long as he is in war. Hes a wartime leader right now. The moment the current conflict stops, he loses his ability to stay in power, he will be removed from bower. Were looking at a situation where his role is under tremendous pressure to try and wrap up the, the, the, the conflict and gaza, away from us. And israel is looking to expand to lease Benjamin Netanyahu. His government is looking to expand his conflict. And therefore his taking the extraordinarily bold and irresponsible actions in hopes that youre on. Well go to, you know, find its way to carry out actions that could be your be get a larger conflict. So i think this is part and parcel. The broader is really strategy of expanding the scope and scale of the conflict in the region. The intense battles are taking place across gaza as the conflict of interest. Its 7th month. Israel declared war on how mos, after the october 7th terrorist attack published send you an official say more than 33000. 00 to thousands. Have since been killed. International groups are crying fell over the humanitarian disaster. Over half of the World Health Organizations, Mission Requests have been denied or delayed by israel. The age group has now finally gained access to the ruins of the enclave. Is the largest hospital for the w h o released footage of what remains that ill see for after months of idea of raids and bombardments, the images show ravaged hospital wards with bodies strewn across the wreckage. Following their visit, the members of the un mission referred to the facility as quote, an empty shell with graves. But satellite images of, ill see if i put the scale of the destruction into perspective, World Health Organization spokesperson, margaret harris. Describe the hospitals loss as someone within the heart, out of the Regions Health care system. Access to live saving aiden does is now can find it to just 12 partially functioning hospital like the majority of the nose. Ill ship a hospital once the largest, the most important Referral Hospital and gaza, is now with them to show off to the late to seek no patients remain at the facility. Most of the buildings are extensively damaged or destroyed, and the majority of equipment is on usable or reduced to ashes. The who we team said that the scale of devastation has left the facility, complete the non functional side of reducing access to live saving, health care and gaza. The International Observers have worn to that around as 70 percent of northern does. This population is close to experiencing catastrophic hunger. Theyre all the food programs has one and 3 children is severely malnourished. The organization is also reported that the number of people facing famine has doubled in the last 2 months of the program is working to provide all possible aids. The guys and its staff say their own safety is that risk loss. Who has been able here to says 1000000 people every month with food because they completely depend on us. But we have times is we dont have the necessary security guarantees to work here. The people also need to be safe. So for that, for us to really be able to scale out of verge, simon, so that people dont have to die because they dont have food. We need security guarantees to us as do you mind, terence, but also for the people recess in gaza. Hey that it, i have 3 boys in one girl. They need food. Where am i supposed to give them food from . I cant afford to buy food, everything is so expensive and i have no money. Local kitchen, is there a safe place . We come here every day. Lets see if we eat whatever we can find. We eat and we think gods. My biggest tree is that when someone leaves the house, they wont come back again. Thats all i care about. That they come back safely, not saying not. And then israel thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of tel aviv demanding the Prime Ministers resignation. One person was arrested for running a car into a crowd of demonstrators in the us at least 5 people were injured. In the incident which took place since they were heading home from the rally, Police Officers managed to stop and the rest of the driver who was later identified as a former football or, and coach. His motives had not yet been revealed or earlier, thousands valid to call on Benjamin Netanyahu to sit down over his failure to return all hostages from gaza. At least 130 people have been held by him off since october 7th. Israel has been rejecting the proposed terms of a new spot deal, some of the relatives of the object. These say the government has failed them to manage to survive 3 months in captivity. He should have been with us today. He could have been with us today and we demand, they wanted to do anything to make these fuel come to and bring them all back home. Its a shame were still living the village Prime Minister district residing off the 6 months ago. There was installed the mouse and everything the claim that the ones to go to may come up, go away and bring all those features. So unfortunately it didnt that, you know, the dispatcher will come off. Christy level 100. 00. 33 also just got off. I hope that i hope that all the now to slovakia, where ukraine skeptic, computer pelligrini has won the president ial election, eating a pro western opposition. Candidate. Pellegrini is a former Prime Minister whos been holding the seed of parliamentary speaker. He also leads the social democratic party, which stands against escalating the ukraine conflict. The slovak president elect has doubled down on calls for peace talks, a recent as well as goals. Hello. Yeah, i will do everything i can to ensure that slovakia, whether anyone likes it or not, always remains on the side of peace and not on the side of war unless whoever wants to criticize me for that as much as they want to eat or pellegrini is victory established has full control of all t post and the country by the ruling coalition. The nation joins neighboring hungry and opposition to fueling the conflict. A new crane which borde
