ship role was indispensable and world full of challenges. mr. can see the single that china as it's biggest, and the pledge that japan would be a pop in meeting that challenge so that the us will no longer have to play the role of sol protect the of the international space daughter. i'm forget, haley invalid. and this is the day i the china is current, keeps tom o stands and beauty, 30 taxes present. i'm press the dentist and the greatest strategic challenge, the us japan relationship should not talk about damage of the country's interest. the leadership of the united states. it is in this has symbol on china is resolutely opposed to coldwell mentality, unblocked politics leave the united states to

continue reading. this people told role in the prayers of the nation. also coming up, he went from an nfl stock and the movie stock to the style of a mode of trial that gripped to america. o. j. simpson has died age 76. 0, miles is good. i mean, obviously i'm dealing with some issues, but i think i'm just the bottle risks. i'll be back on the golf course, hopefully in a couple of weeks. welcome to the day for me, you can see that has warned us lawmakers of the threat from china addressing both houses of congress. the japanese prime minister said beijing's actions in the region presented an unprecedented security challenge. was wanting comes a day after he and us president joe biden agreeing to increase military corporation

in the in the pacific region. you have a nice premier also brought boards of reassurance failing to low make us to set aside what he called a self doubts about american leadership in the world. world means the united states was his message, but america also needs its allies. mister casita said japan, still able and willing to share the burden of containing china in china is current external stance and military actions present. i'm press the dentist and the greatest strategic challenge, not only to the peace and security of japan, but to the peace and stability of international committee a loss. while such a challenge from china continues o a commitment to upholding a free and open international order based on the route of bizarre as well as

peace will come to you to be the 5 year agenda going polco. i want to address it. does americans feel loneliness? and exhaustion of being the country that says upheld the international order. almost single handedly. i understand. it is a heavy burden to carry such hopes on your shoulders. although the world lives to you, your leadership in the u. s. should not be as expected to do it. oh, i'm a is that and on your own well,

got an excellent agent. i jumped the fellow at the hudson institute where he writes and comments on us national defense. he's also being a counter terrorism policy advisor in the us defense department and the special operations officer in the us marine cool. that's a life web lift. uh well, that's a welcome to w a. today i probably certified and, and mr. kachimba to announce plans for a close and easy a military cooperation. what do you think that's likely to look like as well? i think there's a lot of areas for growth in the us just japan alliance. the japan has a lot of room to grow their military, their, their self defense forces and take a larger role in that, in that region of the world they are, are and appeared to be our best ally encounter in china as chinese, uh, uh, merits time militia, seems to go around and moving to a territory waters of other nations in that area. japan spans ready and as a prime minister. so today they are standing ready to engage us. we just bathroom

and then ask what and i think we should write and climate. i tried to clean these things, these clothes, the ties as a threat just explained to us why? well, china, it's in china's interest. so they said, you know, we don't want to see this in the cold war mentality, but of course they don't because they've made it a lot of games over the last several decades with everybody kind of standing on the sidelines and watching. if there's a cold war mentality that returns to where the world with picks up and sees china and so the threat that opposes then they send a much risky your chance when they go after ty want, they want to increase their sphere of influence. and just like, like russia wants to in europe, what it looks to the west, to, to see what, how we're going to respond with each encroachment. i think the thing that we've learned in russia is the perfect example of this is that constant capitulation, regular appeasement of then, grabbing territory from those around them, even if it's a territorial waters,

or fishing rates and in territory waters in maps. and the more the capitulate, the more for you encourage that aggressive behavior. but the us as viewed china as a threats full years, why is it only now building out these lines? and why is japan own united? say yes, we're ready to do this as well. i think the threat has gotten much more great for the last 10 to 20 years. we're now are operating and what many folks call the davidson, the window which, which is basically the timeline before trying to make some move on taiwan. we've realized with semi conductor production that taiwan is critical to the international market. we've also realized that international trade and freedom of navigation, freedom of a c's relies heavily on the ability for ships to trans and up and down uh, within that 1st island chain, which taiwan is the linchpin of right now that china is built up in the south tennessee are on uninhibited. they've moved into other areas. they're looking to

take this on a cockers there, and cops and disputes the nations around them. it's looking a lot more and several folks have written about this like the actions of germany in the, in the 1920s, northern 1930, just moving into territories around. and unfortunately at some point someone has to stand up and tell them no. okay, but it's no this for a no further or is it no and go back. i think it'd be unrealistic to say go back. but that particular for the philippines i think they're interested in the meeting today. was to say this far and no further. they've lost so much of their, their fishing waters, their coast guards regularly, the coast guard vessels and originally under attack from the maritime chinese maritime alicia. and they're saying stop, this is enough and go back, i think for japan. similarly, they would say this and no further, they don't want to to get into conflict of this. i've talked to intact, i want a force would say no further. they don't want any uh,

a chinese influence in taiwan. i'm going for it. so i think everyone would say, these are what you have if you're okay with that. and then the world should be a piece. china clearly does not, is not okay with what they have. they want much, much more, and we're standing in their way. okay, but it's not all peace and harmony though. is it between a japan i'm united states at all different states between these 2 partners talk to us about the they propose purchase of us steel by japan's logic steel maker, which has been criticized not just by cause and by but also by president trump in the past yes, this is a, this is a thorny issue. domestic officer. politics in the united states as trade is around the world as it, with the rise of pop tourism. i think there's a lot of a steel manufacturers in the united states who are weary about a deal or they, they're very cautious to get into deal with an international company or what's that company purchase? american still manufacturing. they've seen this happen before, and the eighty's working still manufacturing moved out of the united states. that's

not to say that free trade is bad. it's not to say that that uh, agreements on steel or are bad in nature. but you need to be very cautious, and i think japan is more than willing to receive benefits of tying their economy to ours. it protects them in the event of more chinese aggression. but i think when you talk about workers in north north, west indiana, they want to be sure that their jobs are going to be maintained, that they're not going to be shipped overseas to produce steel somewhere else. and that's the details of this keel that i think a lot of folks particularly need us senate have issues with they don't trust president biden, to have their best interest, interest of ohio in indiana and other states like it at the forefront, which brings us neatly to elections this year in the us and so we have to see this position that at home looking shake. how g, herbal g. think these at this initiative is likely to be a well trait is always going to cause problems in elections that cause i think we

saw in taiwan last year, right. a feminist or prison inside made a deal that us poor can. and us beef that cost her her party and the elections going forward. so i think if we look at the current, the elections in south korea as well, you'd see that there's a chance that moving forward and moving to aggressively and foreign policy of foreign policy issues and not giving enough attention to kinetic issues, can cost part of the inquiry in elections, i think for as an defined as much i'd like him to be more aggressive on, on foreign policy. i think key risk system. more thing here in the states is to focus on foreign policy and not focus on the issues of his voters. then it might cost him at the, at the ballot box. come this november. good talking to you. thank you for walk us through. i've got an accident from the hudson institute. thank you. thank you.

let's have it done with a property taxes and has been sentenced to death in the country's biggest of a financial fraud case. strong. my land was one of $85.00 people on trial for investing 12 and a half $1000000000.00. the death sentence is seeking us and usually severe unsurpassed last year. it was part of an anti corruption drive that's in gulf, the top levels of vietnamese politics. let's look at this with chung, of who, who is a professor of political science and director of the us vietnam research center at the university of oregon. welcome to dw professor 12 the hop $1000000000.00 salary was like an awful lot of money. putting that in perspective for us. oh oh, that's about 10 percent of it. lambs a n o g d p gross domestic products, meaning the total value off of it. and to me is like getting these what goes make a year, and that's about 10 percent off of that. i'm so i'm, so how did

a trouble milan do this? while that's, this is just a, uh, you know, basic uh, main fraud. uh, and he was able to do that to do it because he was able to um, bribe officials uh through uh political connections and see what just embezzling money from the bank to uh, to useful a real estate investment. as he was able to do that, like i said, you know, because of the hopefully connection, political protection by the pop officials. right? because people going to look at this and you say, how to use deal 10 percent of a countries g d p a. nobody notices but your say she bribes people, but she must have bribed an awful lot of people for about to go. i have

a note to store on challenge for, for, for how long. the other guys, the place around 2012. so it has been going on for about 10 years and i'm sure the officials knew about that. but that they would just, they, they just pretended to look the other way. because her main patron used to be a very powerful man. it was the fact the chief off hold human city and the member of the house for politburo of the communist party. so he was one of the top 15 or sole lead most of the country. so he was so powerful and he was doing votes him in cd like his own feet. and he was home in a patron for a long time and she had to, he's retired in 2015. and after his retirement, his associates began will begin to be persecuted,

my rival affections and all the elite, those. and he was also a 2nd from his position even though he already had 3 tied up. so uh, and then suddenly, you know, c a ride a several officials in the inspect those general ins, including did that with the inspect, the general of the whole banking system. uh, she write them a gift, gave him a half a 1000000000 and a half a $1000000.00. and she gave the, the chief, inspect the of the banking in the system in the south, perhaps around $5000000.00 and various, all the officials. okay, so this corruption spread far and wide until the upper reaches of the base. this won't poxy a system. so now we have this death penalty explained to us why she was given this death penalty, which is not only unusual, but it's so rare for

a woman to receive the times that it's within the frame of punishment for premium though it's like, uh like her. so it's not quite a, it's not i didn't but it did, but it's uh i, i believe it's going to be commuted. but the, they want to give her a very heavy sentence. so that she was willing to give up the information about all the assets. because they basically want to uh, recover of the access uh many assets from her that they have not been able to. so that, that's one of the reason why they, they, they hand out a death sentence for her. but it's likely to be could move that later. but this is not, i have to say that this is not the 1st time that that sentences have been given out . but all of them, if i remember correctly, have all all been committed in the past. so how,

what she found out in the end gave him that she had vis such a wide spread uh, network of corruption. oh, well wait, basically everyone who does business in viet nam has to try to evade the last it uh violate the law in, in some ways because the last uh, weight and the last uh a man to serve the officials and not the says the business of the people for the loss i made to south the, the officials, the government. so when, when the government wants to use the law against you, they can use it. and so it's very, it's almost impossible to do any business in viet nam without violating the law. like damage so she has violated the law and the officials knew that. but then she was protected by top of the shows they could not feature, they could not patch up until her patron retired. and that's when they, they,

they could build black, the rice of i should turn that into a film. it's fascinating. professor 12, i moved from the university of oregon. thank you so much. oh, thank you very much. for the american football here at o. j. simpson has died at the age of 76 is family says he passed away in las vegas following a battle with cancer. and he was a legend and the nfl, primarily with the buffalo bills of the pit. she started numerous movies and tv series, most well known goal was node back in the naked guns films and the 1994000000 around the world watts didn't lead police on, on low speed car chase through los angeles after he was accused of murdering his ex wife and a male friend to happen, and then in 1995 h u and into follow the trial in which he was comfortable, actually cleared of the charges on the deck a laser. he was sent some stuff 33 years in prison for an unrelated armed robbery

for being released in october 2070. you can use a source to bring. let's get more for entertainment, jo, this kj matthews in los angeles. so welcome back to the day change. i, how do you think our j is going to be with my bank? who i would say that o j is one of the most complicated figures to ever live in this world. his legacy is really one of before and after the double murder acquittal of his ex wife and her friend. you had old jay who was a football star. he had 11 seasons in the nfl. yeah. excellent. acting career and a lot of popular films like naked gun. he was his both person for a car rental company. he was really beloved. he was at all american hero until he was accused charge and then later acquitted of killing his is 2nd uh,

ex wife and her friend. and that's when everything went down here. and unfortunately, or fortunately, any way you want to look at it, uh, you will not have all jay's name mentioned, i believe ever without the word murder and without the word acquittal in the same sentence. unfortunately, or fortunately because there we go back to 95, but this was a case, but not only was shown life television the case and the chase, but also split america perhaps black against white in a, in a, in a crime. but everyone had an opinion about you know, it's really interesting during that time. i'm a los angeles native. i went away to school in new york and i just graduated out of graduate school and i just got back. i have my 1st job. and i remember the day that they were going to release the verdict, they gave people like

a 2 to 3 hour window to leave work early. that's how important it was like literally all of los angeles. they wanted to get off work early and get home before the verdict was released. it was just, i've never seen anything like it. and then of course they have the slow speed chase, you know, a year or so before that, but yes, it ripped the country. i think it went the world i believe at this chase as well as the verdict and the trial was watched all around the world. that was really before you had court tv and you had all the trials and the judges with all their shows. now this was really the original reality tv show. uh the o j. simpson case and a gift for rolling tv news channels which were only just getting started that you know, i was just thinking earlier today, a car chase back in like 19 ninety's. and you had an helicopter, and it live on television. it was something that stopped all in los angeles. today,

there are so many car chases, and only every single week that nobody stops what they're doing. and if you tell somebody there's a car chase, they've been saying, you know, what do you want for lunch? it's just not that big of a thing. we have surpassed all of that in those decades cuz it was almost 30 years ago. but back then, there were no car chases on television and specially not would someone like o j. simpson. people were rid of it because they didn't know what was going to happen. he had threatened suicide. they didn't know if he was going to go to the cemetery where his ex wife was, was he going to go back home to his home in brentwood? was he going to turn himself in? it was just so mind boggling to even think of something like that. happening back there. and then of course the trial which gave a massive audience to, oh, jay's lawyer, johnnie cochran, and of course that, that famous bloody gold gloves, but j struggle to face on his hands. if he doesn't fit, you must a quit that i'm telling you that same stage with johnny cochran,

i mean dry. the carpet has been been, he's passed away now obviously back in 2005 of a brain tumor. but that slogan was forever linked with johnny copper and a lot of people felt that they was that uh o. j. simpson struggling to fit that when he got up on his hands in front of the jurors in front of the world. that really, really helps think the prosecution's case, however, there are a lot of people say it was split along racial lines and a lot of people weren't really convicting him as much. so as they were conducting a digital system and you know so many, i think law schools and people even to this day still debate the case on the merit and the jurors and whether justice was served. it's just such a strain case, strange case that is a animal not anomaly for sure. and then he, he ended up behind boss for a completely separate armed robbery for all of his talent that he had. think it's

how does david's does he go his bust ration? his anger got the best of him. he claims that he saw some people still some memorabilia. that was his and all he was going to do was go into a hotel room and collect what was his and of course, it was wrong. they claim they bought it later. he was charged with robbery, but a lot of people felt like this since since that he was given. i think it was more than 30 years, was really too much for that particular crime. and that he was being really prosecuted or convicted, or really kind of given this long sentence because he was found not guilty of the murder of his ex wife and her friend years ago. so he was sentenced to i think, like 33 years. but he ended up serving 9 years before getting out ended up staying in vegas, which is where he passed away today. so if we definitely it will be for them in service. uh tv until uh, what stands out most for you,

a negative done. and him running for that hertz commercial. i'll be honest with you know, o j. simpson really had a career that was getting viewable, i think for a lot of athletes before he had troubles there before. he was ever charged with a double murder. he really had a smooth transition out of the, in a get nfl world into the hollywood world. he was offered a lot of parts. he even was kind of like a spokes person. you know, during a little bit of, of sports reporting. then he had the brand deals, he had a lot of things that a lot of athlete want to have after they retired from the nfl and people just really, really loved him. and so he really lost all of that. obviously when he was charged accused and then later acquitted of murder in his ex wife and her friend, everything just went downhill after that. but it is really just a, a marvelous case. i think if you look back yet, but yes, his legacy is, is one that is controversial to say the least. wow. lovely talking to as of
