Frenemy: why Australia can't live without China

Australia holds a unique position in global geopolitics - on the
other side of the world but still very much a 'Western' country.





To that end, Roland Oliphant speaks with former Australian
Defence Minister Christopher Pyne about the delicate balancing
act his country faces in dealing with an increasingly
sharp-elbowed China; and whether President Trump will stand by
the AUKUS nuclear submarine pact with Australia.





Also in this episode, Roland looks at developments in Gaza.
Nearly 200 journalists have been killed while reporting in the
strip, but for the first time, Israel has publicly stated that
the death of one on Sunday - Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif - was an
assassination by its own forces...


The Telegraph’s Jerusalem correspondent Henry Bodkin discusses
why the strike happened now and what it means for journalists
either already in Gaza and those still trying to enter.
