Why France fumes at US and Australia?

France has recalled it’s ambassadors to the United States of America and Australia. After the Afghanistan incident, this is another global political development  in the world. The reason for France's anger is the U.S. submarine pact with Australia. France has accused allies of lying over a security pact that saw the Australian government scrap a contract to buy French submarines in favour of US vessels. Submarine agreement between France and Australia stands cancelled. France foreign affairs minister made a statement that France has recalled US and Australia ambassadors to Paris on September 17th. By this, France lost a $90 billion submarine pact with Australia when it was signed in 2016. 


It is the first time an ambassador to France has ever been recalled from the United States in the history of the alliance between the two countries. French officials have accused Australia, the US and the UK of behaving in an underhand, duplicitous manner that has betrayed and humiliated France. The UK says that France’s move puts a big rift in the NATO alliance. France blamed Australia for not informing them about the new pact with France which felt that the nation was utterly humiliated by Australia, UK and US. Paris has called the cancellation a stab in the back. Why did Australia ditch the French submarine pact and switch over to the US and UK? Australia seems to believe that the French nuclear powered option is inferior to the US and UK. Australia defended its scrapping of a deal for French submarines.


The pact means Australia will become just the seventh nation in the world to operate nuclear-powered submarines. The reason for the trilateral pact is China which controlled a major part of the South China Sea. China’s involvement in the South China Sea is a major security concern for NATO and Australia. The new trilateral pact has exposed the US President Biden in dealing diplomatic relations with it’s allies. The Aukus agreement - which also includes the UK - will see Australia being given the technology to build nuclear-powered submarines as a way of countering China's influence in the contested South China Sea. France didn’t recall it’s ambassador to the UK which was like a third wheel of the pact.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap. Bahubali is universal movie which was apt to all sections in the world. That is the reason for getting huge collections across the world. We didn't expect the same situation for Prabas's next movie even though his popularity increased with Bahubali. Radha Krishna who produced movies like Julayi and A. AA.. will plan to produce next film with Pavan and Trivikram. Movie was not yet started but distributors rushed toward producer for getting area-wise rights.Obviously, ...
