China is accused of bullying the Philippines out at sea.
We saw it first-hand… on board a ship that was water-cannoned, and on a flight to Pagasa Island, where Filipino families are living on the frontlines

As the #IranWar continues, the security of shipping tanker seafarers is under threat.
#MeanwhileinAsia tells the heartbreaking story of Patnala Suresh, an Indian seafarer who died in a #US Navy attack. And what his wife told CNN.

According to the IMO, at least 25 seafarers have been killed in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz since the Iran War began.
It is another example of innocent seafarers paying the price as the maritime domain becomes increasingly contested. The assumptions about a stable and secure maritime domain are increasingly being tested with significant implications for seafarers and the global economy.
I recently joined @CNN @IvanCNN on "Meanwhile in Asia" to discuss.

🚢 ⚠️ 🌊 It's a time of unprecedented maritime crisis, and #Asia is in the crosshairs.
In a world of open conflict, critical waterways have turned into chokepoints and commercial vessels have turned into targets.
On board these ships are hard-working crews with families from the #Philippines, #India, #China, #Indonesia, and elsewhere who did not choose this geopolitical moment. These are civilian essential workers whose job is to deliver our fuel and our food.
And they deserve protection.
An important conversation in this new episode of CNN's "Meanwhile in Asia." Pls let us know what you think. 🙏🏽

Trump, who initially appeared unfazed by the results of the Tuesday night midterms, has become angrier as he’s watched coverage of the historic losses, we're told. That sour mood has spread throughout the West Wing, which has become increasingly factionalized in recent days. cnn.com/2026/11/06/politics/…
