Next-gen partnership: Australia, U.S and UK enter nuclear defence alliance

Published

on

Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States are teaming up in a “next-generation defence partnership” deemed AUKUS, as tensions between western nations and China heat up

The deal will see the three countries share secret nuclear technology and also assist Australia as it switches to a nuclear-powered submarine fleet.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says “our world is becoming more complex, especially in the Indo-Pacific”

Morrison says his country is opening up a new friendship in its relations with the US and Britain, as he secures a brand new nuclear submarine fleet

This follows Morrison holding a National Security Committee of Cabinet in Canberra on Wednesday. 

Australia will use both US and British technology to replace its existing Collins class fleet, as the international strategic environment heats up.

The alliance deal will also see an increased presence of American nuclear subs in the region, with a focus on aligning technology and regional challenges.

The working group will ensure that the countries can share information regarding long-range strike capabilities, artificial intelligence and underwater systems… in an attempt to counteract the increasing dominance of China.

Biden says it’s time to face the threats of the twenty-first century and has faith that the AUKUS alliance will allow this.

Allied naval presence is expected to increase dramatically… particularly throughout the hotly contested South China Sea.

It comes as Australia’s Defence Minister Peter Dutton and Foreign Minister Marise Payne touch down in Washington for a series of talks over the next two days.

Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says this project will set the standard for global relations moving forward, being the most complex partnership the world has ever seen.

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.

“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
