U.S. Increases Military Drills in Asia

The U.S. navy has increased its training exercises off the coast of Thailand. The new drills are part of a strategic campaign which the White House calls its "pivot to Asia", but others see the rise in military activity as a political move by the US to flex its muscles. It comes at a time of deep tension over territorial disputes surrounding the group of islands known as the Scarborough Shoal. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett got access to one of the vessels before exercises began.
