seems to have been fair brush in search of my roots on al jazeera too often eat of canister as portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many of canister thanks to the brave individuals who risk their lives to protect it from destruction. an extraordinary film archives spanning for decades reveals the forgotten truths of the country's modern history. the forbidden real part 3, the rise of the missouri, dean, honor jessia. ah . ready and the u. s. u k and australia now is the latest stage of their deal for nuclear

powered submarines. ah, i'm cyril than yeah, it's good to have you with us. this is al jazeera, alive from doha. also coming up, the white house approves and a $1000000000.00 oil drilling project in alaska, but faces strong opposition from environmentalists. at least a 100 dead is cyclone freddy hits southern malawi and mozambique stopping by is my top priority the u. k. parliament debates a bill aimed at curbing the number of asylum seekers who arrive on small boats. ah so australia is said to buy at least 3 u. s. manufactured nuclear submarines at a cost of $245000000000.00. and that could eventually increase to 5 submarines amid

growing concerned around china's influence in the indo pacific region. this announcement was made as u. s. president joe biden hosted the prime ministers of australia and britain in california. john henderson reports from point loma naval base in san diego. it is a bold effort to shift the balance of power in the pacific. the leaders of the u. s . the u. k. and australia cementing a plan to deploy nuclear powered submarines from the australian coast or unprecedented trilateral cooperation. i believe is testament to the strength of the longstanding ties, the united is under our shared commitment. auburn, sure. the end of pacific remains free and open. prosperous and secure, the plan will take decades to complete. the defense alliance called arcus has already begun with the 1st of hundreds of australians embedding in u. s. and u. k. submarine building programs. more u. s. subs will start visiting australia this year,

while british subs will increase rotations from 2026 by 2030 to australia, plans to buy 3 nuclear powered subs containing conventional weapons from the us, with the option of buying 2 more. and sometime in the 20 forty's, australia expects to have its own nuclear, so built by the u. k. and australia using u. s. technology. the oak is the grandmother. we confirm here in san diego represents the biggest single investment in australia's defense capability in all about history. the biggest threat in the pacific comes from an increasingly aggressive china, which has built new fortifications in the south china sea. it's a situation that china has as created and brought upon itself very much like girl russia has in the ukraine in china's gigi and paying has called the august plan, an effort to encircle and contain his country view as, as missouri. here is

a nuclear powered virginia class attack submarine. the kind of us will send to australia is that country developed the capacity to build its own nuclear subs go longer, farther and faster than conventional subs. and that's a big advantage. the new fleet, replacing australia's aging diesel force requires the u. s. and u. k to boost their nuclear ship building capacity and to build one in australia from scratch. but ultimately, the defense of our values depends, as it always has on the quality of our relationships with others, with china engage in its own submarine building program and flexing its muscles in the south china sea. the 3 english speaking arcus nations are betting that together . they can better counterbalanced the size of china's naval force. john henderson, al jazeera san diego, out and sarah clark reports on this from brisbane australia. anthony albanese is declaring this as a new dawn 1st rally as defense policy. it is the largest defense acquisition in

australia, history with a cost of about $250000000000.00 over the next 30 years. now it does have bilateral support in federal parliament and is expected to create up to $20000.00 jobs over the next few decades across the industry, defense and public service. now the key is to boosted of defense capabilities sharing between the 3 navies. because they're using the same common technology, but the government's hoping that this agreement will act as a deterrent in the face of increasing foreign threats. in particular, china, in the endo pacific region, 2 will raise the cost for china if it's contemplating any kind of military action. now of course it's gonna take some time for strategy to acquire this capability is try and government has offered china a briefing on the lightest details of this trilateral security agreement. but richard miles, the defense minister says he's yet to get a response out of beijing. but we do know that china has been highly critical of its agreement and what it was 1st announced had noted that it exacerbates the arms,

right. it hurts pace and stability in the region. and they've also urged australia the u. k. in the us to abandon what beijing coals is the cold war mentality. australia relationship with china had been on the mend. we'd seen the 2 latest sheet in pink and anthony albanese made on the sidelines of the g 20 meeting. and this, of course, was after a decade of turbulence under the former prime minister, scott morrison. but it's unlikely that china will take warmly to the lightest detail of this is a security agreement. i am what is considered the largest defense acquisition in australia's history. and a mock is the senior research fellow at the center for join a china and globalization. and he says that the august deal will have a destabilizing effect on the indo pacific region. i think this only strengthens the view ah, that has been articulated by presidency and things around a foreign minister that if the u. s. continues down this path, ah,

it raises the risk of outright conflict. and of course, this is not good for china, but it's also not good for the us as well as we all know of u. s. is economically intertwined with china, as are many other countries around the world. so these destabilizing actions really are counterproductive, in many, many aspects. the u. s. is, in a sense, has one tool to play, which is, or to use, which is it's military. what if we look at china's approach, of course it invest in is upgrading its military capabilities, but it is making significant gains on the diplomatic front. we need to look no further than the recent around saudi arabia, rapprochement china's role in a ukraine peace plan initiatives in the pacific. that's one very, very important aspect. the economic aspect, of course,

is very important as china ah, is offering an increasingly growing and sophisticated market to countries all around the world, including the united states. in terms of information as well. i think china, we can see making advances in this area. perhaps the least developed so far, but certainly are advancing on all fronts. whereas i think the u. s. is perhaps overly relying on only a military approach to dealing with its anxieties and fears about china. also monday, president biden approved a major oil drilling project in the us state of alaska. the a $1000000000.00 plan led by oil giant conoco. phillips has been strongly opposed by climate activists. they said undermines, the administration has pledged a slow climate change. the approval comes a day after the government announced limits on oil drilling. in 16000000 acres in alaska and the arctic ocean, the project could produce up to 180000 barrels of oil

a day according to the company. now that's more than $600000000.00 barrels of crude over 30 years, but extracting and using that oil could produce more than $270000000.00 tons of greenhouse gases over the projects 30 year lifespan. willow is the largest proposed oil drilling plan on us public land and the biggest oil field in alaska for decades . that's bring in bernadette dementia for her viewpoint on this. she's executive director of the which in steering committee, the which are the northern most indian nation to live in alaska, and canada. they stand to be effected by this. you're joining us from fairbanks, alaska. so 1st of all, your position on this, on this drilling deal and exploration. so thank you for having me, sir. our, our position is that we support the local and engineers communities that do not support this i'm which in,

so we protect the arctic national wildlife refuge. and the area that you're referring to is a little bit more on the west, on the west side. but the thing is that we are all going to be impacted regardless of where we're located. and you know, we have people coming into our homelands making decisions about our future and not involving us. so you know, we're taking it upon ourselves to stand together and stand as one to protect took. we have left this, this is not right what they're doing and i just got off the phone. and i was told that this saturday, this saturday, they want to start, you know, making the, i'm doing my exit with like bombings and, you know, mean making damage into the ground basically. and that's, that's very quick. what's been the communication if any, between the oil company,

in this case, conoco phillips and the which in community will not because i'm like i said, we protect the arctic national wildlife refuge. and this is a national petroleum reserve. but like i said, you know, we are, we are interconnected to our land, to our water, into our animals. so what happens to that happens to us? and we, we fully 100 percent support our new brothers and sisters that oppose any kind of destruction to their homelands. we're already dealing with a lot of climate change up here. last, guys dying 4 times greater than the rest of the world. we have 30 feet hostile communities, dealing with rosen. we have housing, thousands of dead fish and rear and rivers and lakes and dead birds literally

falling from the sky. and we do not have, you know, a representative or a sen that's fighting for this information to be shared publicly in washington dc. so we're kind of being left to deal with this on our own. well, do you have any contacts communication about this with the, by an administration, on any level, not on this subject. when you start, when, when can you get out here, please? can you get her audience on this subject? not so much, but i do know that they had a rally down in washington d. c. last week. and i, you know, this is all about money. this is all about. i'm sorry, i'm going to china, choose my words carefully. it's all about greedy. but our ways of life, or our food security, our identity is not a negotiation. and we are not going to just stand by and watch people come in and

benefits off of our our homelands. but when you say you're not going to stand by, what do you mean by that? well, you know, for a long time they've just been coming in. they've been, i mean, look at food away. you know, i mean, all the hurts, all the, all the caribou herds that are in that area have declined and they can't tell us that our food security is not going to be impacted. not when we see differently. we have been spiritually and culturally connected to the park to buy and carry with her for over 40000 years. and now we have people that, you know, would rather put money in their pockets. that's missing our ways of life to dismiss our identity, our culture, our traditions and you know, the one thing is about alaska natives is that,

you know, we will unite and, and i know that we all want the same thing and our, our food security, you know, and that's like 80 percent off the land and all the time together, i fully, i really believe that. i mean, we might be standing up to one of the biggest governments in the world that you know, giving up is not an option for us. bernadette demand, jeff, executive director of the which in steering committee, thank you so much for joining us on the program. thank you. am allowing, has declared a state of disaster raft, a powerful storm hit the country for a 2nd time in less than 3 weeks. tropical cyclone freddy unleashed more powerful winds and torrential rain over the weekend. at least 100 people have been killed in malawi and neighboring mozambique, the psych phone 1st hit southern africa last month. this is the longest lasting storm of its kind on

a record in the southern hemisphere. many what if i'm in the muscle center, it was to bed in the night, but now that it is daytime, i can feel the loss. i have never seen something as terrible as this. my neighbor's house is all or got the family members are gone. they are missing some cases. the father is a life, but the wife and the children are gone. what you got by but you know, i'm helping to find the victim. i know there are more bodies that are still buried so far between 20 and 20. 5 bodies been recovered from the debris and ruined houses and most of the month and very the hospital. but they all look dead and the u. k. parliament has been debating a bill aimed at curbing the number of asylum seekers who arrive on british shores and small boats. the new law will ban migrants from returning to the u. k claiming asylum, or seeking british citizenship in the future. really, angel, it takes a closer look at the government's plan. oh, she ran high in parliament as the government,

illegal migration built was debated for the 1st time. yet. we must control who comes into this country and the terms under which they remain here. that's why stopping the boats is my top priority. but objections came from on corners with a housing the by she think the british public went to see pregnant women and children detained, an immigration detention center. i do not believe from one of the due process on nashville, under the new plaid migrants and refugees arriving on british shores in small boats on the back of trucks would be detained, the ported, and prevented from ever flaming asylum in britain. successful asylum seekers like called by thea housey, who fled tortured central africa, says the proposed law would be a death sentence for many disputed or des slow wooden wooden stove. me in my journey, in my goal of safety, in an protection. and what probably would, would done is just creating even more trust or

a journey for me to take. and i would know exactly would i make it on or no, making all outside parliament protest his voice, the opposition to the proposals rights groups argue the law would break the un convention on refugees and other commitments. the u. k. has made to human rights many legal challenges lie ahead and then there are the practical challenges with a backlog of a 160000 people waiting for an answer when they're assigned them. applications. detention centers already overflowing emergency accommodation in hotels cost $6000000.00 a day. the question is, where will the new arrivals be detained and how much would it cost? pounds on friday, britain signed a $577000000.00 deal with grants to boost surveillance and policing on french shoes to intercept more thoughts before they leave. and break the business model of the gang. but many want to see more investment into so cool,

safe and legal rates for those clean war and persecution. beyond parliament, more than $350.00 businesses, charities, unions, and legal groups have condemned the policy on a legal migration is cruel and unworkable. and urging the government to rethink the policy that prime minister richie soon acts as he wants to push the bill through to become law. hopefully, by august, charlie angela al jazeera london still ahead on al jazeera, the colombian government for peers to return to the negotiating table with rebel groups to end a decades long conflict. ah hello, we are now starting to feel the effects of our next weather system rolling in across

the western side of the u. s. and we are going to see more cloud and re sweeping through that we have low pressure just not again. bit suspicious of cloud, also pushing in ahead of that as we go on through tuesday, the atmospheric river sets up, it will be housing down across that western side of california. we could see as much as maybe a 100150 millimeters of frame in parts here. and some significant snowfall once again across the sierra nevada. so not quite out of the woods here. trout breaking writing this of course, but it is more than we want in a short space of time. also got a bit of a wintry mix just around matter. northeast and corner into new england that to maurice the has set in that will clear through as we go one through west i am back down towards a south west. we see some clever weather just starting to show his hand as we go re wedding, stay a wet day and i lay cloud and right sliding across the rockies. at that stage it'll push its way into central parts. we'll see some really heavy rain severe storms. certainly likely, as we go on through 1st,

i rode across the place all the way up towards the great lakes, one or 2 stores wanted to shout to just affecting southern parts of central america . but across the caribbean, it's sunny. ah, the only al jazeera london broke our centre 2 people in thoughtful conversation with no host and no limitation, lead to the place of color. it was the struggle it, it would be much easier for me. i felt that white people part to go into china and singer songwriter in carry other people. wait a minute, you get wait, or you stop what you're doing and made one studio be unscripted on al jazeera lou.

ah, watching al jazeera reminder of our headlines this, our australia is set to buy as many as 5 us manufactured nuclear powered submarines . this amid growing concerned around china's influence in the indo pacific region, the announcement comes 18 months after australia, the u. s. and the u. k formed a security alliance. activists have accused the biden administration of breaking a promise to slow climate change after it approved a major oil drilling project and alaska. the $8000000000.00 willow project is expected to produce around a $180000.00 barrels of oil per day. and a state of disaster has been declared in malawi after a powerful storm hit the country for a 2nd time in less than 3 weeks. cyclone freddy has claimed the lives of more than a 100 people in malawi and neighboring mozambique. human rights watch has urged the

royal government of baton to release several political prisoners. 37 men have been locked up the decades without parole. they were held for, allegedly conspiring against the king rights activists accuse authorities of unfair trials and inflicting physical torture on the inmates. lame pierson is the asia director for human rights watch. you joins me now from sydney on this. elaine, so political prisoners in baton don't receive nearly as much attention as they might in some other countries. tell us what we need to know about this. well, that's right, and that's because baton is a very remote buddhist kingdom. there are human rights organizations that can report freely in that country. there aren't independent, international journalists that can report on what's going on. but these are 37 men who have been detained between 990 and 2008. many of them were sentenced to life in prison on a range of national security offences. and these convictions were obtained on the

torture people were beaten with cane sticks, confessions were extracted from them. they had no legal representation whatsoever. so noisy process and they still remain in prison today, held him very poor conditions separated from the prisons, unable to communicate loved ones and family members. and some of them are in very poor health and why why they in jail? why did the leadership in baton feel that there were a threat to the king or the country? well, all of these are political prisoners come from 2 different ethnic groups. the majority of them from the poly speaking group, back in 990. there were protests about the discrimination that this group faced about 90000 actually had to flee the country. and lisa, nicole, so some of these people were picked up when they were turned they were accused of treason of terrorism. and you know, frankly,

the trials meant no due process whatsoever, and they've been locked up really from a different time. i mean, this is the time when baton was an absolute monarchy in 2008, it became a constitutional monarchy. so you know, we think that baton to do the right thing. they should cost these convictions. we've seen the king of baton, offer amnesty before the political prison. so we know it can happen again. and what was going to ask you, what are the chances that the king might offer an amnesty? well, it has happened in the past. so in 1999 about 40 political prisoners who was sentenced to life, many of them sentenced to life, work, even an embassy. and just last year there was another case where the current king gave an embassy to one political prism. so right now we think it's really important that the un foreign governments, really all questions of the government of the tom and ask why these people have been detained for decades in such horrific conditions. and you know,

really off the baton government to do the right thing and release these prisoners unconditionally lean pearson asia director for human rights watch. thank you for shining a spotlight on this. thank you so much. and stocks and sole in tokyo, open sharply down on tuesday as investors consider the fallout from the collapse of to us banks and uncertainties of the federal reserves. monetary tightening. that's after us president joe biden tried to reassure americans that the countries banking system is safe after the collapse of the signature bank and as the p that silicon valley bank biden says, customers and taxpayers will not bear any losses. i do show castro has more from santa clara in california. you po, had a lining up here trying to get inside. worried that potentially, especially for the startup companies, hundreds of millions of dollars of deposits could potentially have evaporated overnight. well, that is not the case because of the intervention of the federal government that was

announced over the weekend. now, all deposits here, even above the normal half a quarter $1000000.00 limit, are insured by the federal government. that was the announcement at that president joe biden was speaking of earlier. they will be using fees paid by the banking industry to cover those deposits to make the customers of silicon valley bank whole . it will not be using taxpayer money. so you can see it's a much quieter. see now there are still many security guards who are in and outside of the bank, but we did not see any of those panicked customers as of days prior. this was an emergency, an aggressive moved by federal regulators that has largely been greeted by industry experts and economists saying that it was the correct thing to do to quickly and aggressively stem the blood of these massive failures a happen in a row at earlier this week. this is the 16th largest bank in the united states in

operation for nearly 4 decades, and 4 to have so quickly and really just coming out of the blue to have collapsed like this over a matter of hours and days certainly shook people's confidence. and that is why biden and other lawmakers are so fast now to try to reassure americans that their deposits are safe, the priority now being to not cause a panic, not to have contagion spread to other financial institutes in columbia. president gustavo petros government will start peace negotiations with a dissident part of the fork rebel group. the dissidence rejected a p. steel, which other far rebels accepted in 2016, and petro has vowed the end decades of conflict. i sandra ramp viet, he has more on this from, but with this announcement means the government of president gustavo paper will now start a 2nd piece negotiation after the one that is already ongoing wet airliner,

national liberation army, the biggest remaining rebel group in the country in this case, petra said that the negotiations will be with the so called the cincinnati my, your or central command. this is one of 2. this is a group of former foreign rebels. need them are a group form of 5 rebels that decided to reject. they still feel that the park has signed with the columbia and a states back in 2016. and this group in particular that has roughly between 1800 or 2000 armed a members. if considered responsible for much of the aps upsurge in violence that columbia has seen in the last 2 or 3 years. as this group has been fighting both the land and other. i'm groups and drug trafficking groups in particular,

in the south and the west of the country to control those territories. and in many cases, a very important and very look at 3 of drug trafficking routes. and tell me that practically hustled the groups have entered into a peace process with the government. today, we are missing the other house. announcements came after the countries that need general francisco by the boys said earlier on monday that he was suspending the arrest warrant for 19 members of the group of the 5 to facilitate the talks. but enough, he's kelly, he's been from them into the prosecutor. and so the pieces of us think that the president has given political character to the dissidence who did not send the if we are a c p agreement. and so those are saying that women would fail to comply with others, but not everybody agrees with the president when it comes to starting piece talks with these different groups. that's because a lot of people here consider that they already had their chance to negotiate with

their government and rejected it. obviously, that's not the way of federal sees it infesting that best. and that is fundamental opportunity to reduce violence and the country and sort of complement and bring to an end to the process that was started with the piece deal in 2016. russia has agreed to extend the ukraine grain export deal following talks of the un, but only for 60 days. moscow says it wants to see progress on a parallel agreement on a russian exports before the deal comes up for renewal. again, the green export packed has helped ease the global food crisis, triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine last year. more than 24000000 tons of grain have been exported under this deal. right, that's from us for now you can find a lot more on our website. the address for that as always, houses era dot com.
