we could have believed that makes the united states nor to solution, but the problem in the united states, in many of its doctrinal documents, is describing russia nowadays as a disruptor and disrupting power. do you think that's essentially a projection? they're describing us in a way what they are trying to do to this region disrupting it for the lack of better word. i don't think it is a project. so i think that the normal diplomatic practice for the great powers, if we recognize that the other great power is the contributor, not to disrupt a means that we have problems about establishing our own position. because only between the great powers. we have very limited possibilities to recognise the positive contribution of others without limiting our own place in our own positive role in international got limited because the russian and the chinese example, i think for some inspiration in the group, i think that's why i would call china rush solutions, the you, unique strategic partnership for the 21st century. we'll see how it will develop in future. but for the time being these 2 countr

states policy here, united states objectives. here we have got to start. there are those who are celebrating 911 again. we have seen multiple fireworks. also over the last several days, the taliban has announced the new government with, with many of the officials nominated by the taliban to lead this new slab mc emory of got to stop. there were former guantanamo inmates there for inmates, as well as other people who have bounties, who have american balances on their heads. many people, more than a dozen and international terrorists, the tide about has obviously felt emboldened by its military success. how quickly it took over the country. it has made no compromise in its its roaster, for the new government. so there was speculation that perhaps the tide of bad would include minorities would include women in its new governments as again compromised to the west west of the month. no such thing. what we're seeing is a government that was in power on the day before the u. s invaded i these cities, the same organization though i must

united states is a good source of -- to pakistan. united states is probably one of the most influential dynamic pakistani -- in the world. and i've made this point several times in the past, also. there are so many non-tangible factors. the fact that we use the same accounting practices that you do. they use english language is communication. i know that is important for the u.s. and pakistan is one of the largest -- on the indian ocean rim. and we have a good history of maritime cooperation also. and that is really where we would like the economic partnership, trade partnership, investment partnership bringing more balance to them. they announced this question about counterterrorism. we have cooperated in the past. this is certainly an idea where i believe our interests would remain aligned, you know, because of what you just said in terms of some turbulence spilling over into pakistan. and isis-k is a common threat by practically everybody including taliban. similarly, al qaeda has attacked us in the past. and i do want to take thi

they buy a lot of food from the united states. host: christopher sands, go through the history of u.s. and canada separation. guest: this is one of those separated at birth stories, and a way. if you go back to 1770's, there were a number of colonies north of the border, including nova scotia in 1707, new brunswick and prince edward island, quebec and ontario, and a small vancouver colony that appears a bit later in the 18th century. all of those colonies were independent -- separate from one another. but after the american revolution, the colonies that remained part of british north america state separate with a westminster pollard mentoring model of government -- mr. parliamentary model of government, unlike the united states. we thought we could persuade them to going us early on, and the war of 1812 was in some ways an attempt, we thought, to liberate canadians from british rule, that they would see the appeal of the united states and want to jump in and join our revolution. it turned out, though, that in that war, canadians d

the united states. and from the very beginning, from 1607. when the irish famine people came, it was already created. it was pretty much set in stone. they were taking half of mexico and sort of completing that vision that they had on independence was to reach the pacific and come to dominate the pacific as chinese trade. >> your argument in a way is that it's not really a nation of immigrants sort of an economic expansionist class that later turned against immigrants. >> turned against immigrants but they don't this industrial powerhouse first of all with a cotton kingdom. slavery was legal. enslaved africans had this unpaid labor force and they kept reproducing slaves so they didn't have a labor issue. but after the civil war when they really started building the industrial northeast, they needed huge amounts of labor and also for building the railroads. so this is when the first immigration law ever passed or was ever mentioned immigration was 1883. that was to exclude chinese who at the same time th

know, the united states. the united states intent on breaking up any kind of regional -- regional unity in exchange because capitalism, incorporatism wants to keep people separated from each other. >> exactly. >> that would play right into that when we play nationalism. of course, these quite nationalists that exist, growing up in rural oklahoma i've always known that they are there. they've been so empowered first by reagan. people forget about that. >> yeah. >> yeah. and trump, they are really a force now to reckoned with. >> nobody says that we are nation of laws. now we are just nation of -- >> that's a good last word. [laughter] >> i think we will end it right there. [laughter] >> thank you, both so very much. it's been such an honor and always a pleasure to have both of you. >> thank you, everyone, thank all of you for coming and friends and people i don't know personally. i really appreciate it. my hope definitely contact me if you have questions about the book. i'm easy to find. reddirtfight.com it's

united states simply brand, and it's doing the same understand almost always reserve the united states said, well, we don't wake up, so we're going to grab all of your reserves. now you can have it. and the united states and other countries in europe, japan, china, other countries, any holdings, you go to the u. s. banking system we, we can grab any plan and we can grab it through your swiss settlement system. and that's finally leading china, russia, iran, and other countries dollars. they say now that we have to hold our money and dollars the guns that they were still, but now they're not as good as gold. and so china, russia and other countries instead are buying go and keeping it at home. not like way to the bank that grant it to the americans, they're keeping their way. and so you're saying that the world fracture between a dollar area and the area, the dollar area will be shrinking united states europe, so that you're not run a budget deficit ends in style. so without running a bunch of deficit, there aren't euro securities for people to buy, all right, they're going to pick it u

the united states has donated 2.2 million vaccines to ukraine through covax. we are going to continue to work to provide more. >> [speaking foreign language] >> we have much to talk about. i still remember the opportunity i had to speak years ago and i look forward to coming back someday. >> >> [speaking foreign language] >> thank you very much mr. president. >> [speaking foreign language] >> first of all, i would like to greet you ladies and gentlemen, and i would like to thank president biden for his invitation in difficult times for the world and for the united states. still, you found time for us and i am very grateful. >> [speaking foreign language] >> of course, the united states, our strategic partners and supporters of our sovereignty and integrity. i would like to use this occasion to thank president biden personally for dispatching the more than 2 million vaccines to save ukrainian lives. >> [speaking foreign language] >> and thank you for the $6 million program. we appreciate this contribution. >> [speaking foreign language] >> accept my sincerest c

well, the united states has this hearty frontier culture. this idea you can always flee west and remake yourself even though that's a bootstrap apology. we have the ethnic and racial divides the, the hyper capitalist class was always able to divide the working class against itself, either racially or ethnically or regionally. and then there was a sustained effort by the government to suppress socialism here. so i think there's a lot of reasons why we didn't develop a sort of left wing like europe did. eugene debs low is one of those important forgotten figures because he ease fights class warfare. but he doesn't want to democratic ways of democratic socialists. he speaks a lot like a christian actually, even though he's not one, he respects religion and you know, when he's sentenced a federal prison for opposing the draft and giving a speech under sedition act during world war one. i have fooled more than one person who is a self proclaimed conservative person by quoting what he said to the judge to them and asking who said it. and many time

in the united states of war. we look at the new military partnership between the united states, australia, and britain. the u.s. is selling nuclear submarines to australia and expanding the military footprint. his president biden constructing a cold war with china? we will speak with david vine about "the united states of war: a global history of america's endless conflicts, from columbus to the islamic state." >> 800 military bases, more than any nation in world history. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. president joe biden said wednesday the united states will donate an additional 500 million pfizer vaccine doses to other nations around the world. he made the pledge during a virtual global vaccine summit of world leaders. pres. biden: it brings our total commitment of donated vaccines to over 1.1 billion vaccines to be donated. put it another way, for every one shot we have administered to date in america, we have committed

it's a threat to the united states militarily, maybe not in terms of the united states being invaded and concurred. no, that's likely not going to happen. but it's still a military threat. we can be damaged by imperial japan and nazi germany. perhaps more significantly, it's an economic threat to our well-being. if the nazis dominate europe and control the natural resources of europe, if the japanese concur and control the resources of asia, what will we do? you can say we'll trade with them. but what if they don't trade with us? what if they isolate us economically? how do we grow and prosper? remember, 1939, 1940, the great depression is not fully over yet. it's gotten better, but it's still on. americans are really concerned about their economic well-being. this argument says, we might be in a state of permanent depression. we may not have any capacity for economic growth in a world dominated by nazi germany and imperial japan. this is a threat to our interests. we are in danger. our whole way of life can be destroyed by a world dominated by these dictatorships. the interventionis

of the united states. very few know that the bill clinton administration, but taliban leadership, including some of the people were saying now were invited to the united states. they dropped in, i think, in very secretly secretively, into disney world and to target stores and did a bit of shopping. and they went to the c i and langley virginia. why? because the u. s. wanted to build one american oil company to build a natural gas pipeline from took my no stand through afghanistan to pakistan. absolutely crucial. the alternative routes with russia and a wrong that wilson hall. it was only when bush came to power george shuffling bush . his administration actually started to question the reliability of the taliban to deliver on the deal. now this steel, the head of the steel was pick tracking who became bushes. vice president john, i'll stop you there more from jerome pilcher after this break ah, join me every thursday and the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, b

states and those seeking entry to the united states. i then conclude with the trump administration and extreme that-ing. now some may recall that during the campaign that president -- then republican khamenei donald trump, one of his campaign speeches was -- there was a reference to the cold war. and this call for extreme vetting. there's a reference which i include in the book where he says, we have these ideological restrictions in the cold war. and we need extreme vetting. i remember watching this and going, oh my goodness, let's see what happens. lo and behold, during the trump administration, we had seen efforts to exclude and to deport and use extreme vetting, that is strikingly similar. what has changed is technology. during and with social media and the use of social media, data collection, there is a concern that you are affiliations, what you like on twitter or facebook, the expression that you carry around in your pocket and on you at all times, to your laptop, to social media handles and accounts can be used against you, eit

he served the united states congress. they also served in the united states senate. and he and his wife. were the host during james buchanan's administration in washington, dc? when the south left and formed their own government, they invited jefferson davis. to become its first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we're standing in the cell where jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1965 jefferson davis received word from general robert e. lee the commander of the army of northern virginia that they no longer could hold the federal army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news jefferson davis adjourned his cabinet and sent his family on the road for their protection. jefferson davis soon after that would follow he would finally catch up with his family right below right above the florida state line. it is here where a federal mounted unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was placed on a boat and moved b

but imagine if in the united states, russian companies had a device that was a low voltage in the united states to find out how russia would like them to vote. that will be a huge scandal. we all remember russian gauge was i think it was a fortune for american viewers for at least 2 and a half years until april, 2020. when basically mr. miller, mr. miller, acknowledge that there was no confusion. but we have evidence of western total support for the radical position in russia. you're just have to read the newspapers in the west. nothing russian. the ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk me anything with the with no mention redundancy. we're going underground digging of the narratives, the circled mainstream media to want you to hear coming up in the show while the eyes of the world are on the middle east. we investigate another country, destro

united states military will always honor their heroism. we mourn with their families and we owe them support through the days and years ahead. it is noteworthy that, on the day of the attack at the airport, our troops and their partners start and carried on, putting 89 rescue flights into the air in the span of 24 hours. they lifted 12,500 souls to freedom. it is an enormous achievement, not just by the military, but also by the military of our afghan partners. of course, buyer teammate at the state department. the wars over -- the wars over, and we are entering a new chapter. one where our diplomats take the lead. we are part of an urgent team effort to move afghan evacuees out of temporary housing in intermediate staging bases in the gulf and in europe. they are moving on to begin new lives. i will be traveling to the gulf next week to thank our partners there who have done so much to save and shelter afghan civilians. now, some of those brave afghans will be coming to make new lives in america. after's -- after's careful screening by ou

into the united states. and as we discussed a couple of weeks ago the secretary of state even expunged the nazi records of people like werner von brown and some of his fellow nazi scientists so that they could work in us intelligence. and verna von braun and his fellow his team of scientists played a key role in the development of the us space program. but refugees also informed our political life. think of henry kissinger madeleine albright the german political theorist hannah arendt they have played a key role but there are others they've played a cube role in shaping our political life. they've shaped our cultural life think of the actress, marlena dietrich. the hungarian composer bella bartok the austrian composer arnold stormberg and the russian french painter mark sagal but there are many many other refugees that we could highlight refugees have always played an important role in the political economic and cultural life of our nation. but public opinion polls tell us that americans were very concerned

planes carrying vaccines from the united dates have already landed in 100 countries -- the united states have already landed in 100 countries, bringing people around the world a dose of hope direct to the american people -- direct from the american people, no strings attached. at the global covid-19 summit, i will be announcing additional measures and holding ourselves accountable on specific targets in three key challenges. saving lives now, vaccinating the world, and building back better. this year has also brought widespread death and devastation from the borderless climate crisis. extreme weather events that we have seen in every part of the world, you all know it and feel it. represent what the secretary general rightly called code red for humanity. scientists and experts are telling us that we are fast approaching the point of no return in the literal sense. to keep within our reach, the wild goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius -- to keep within our reach the worldwide goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius. we have to keep raising our collective

section 1381 of title 18 of the united states code provides that whoever entices or procures or attempts to entice or procure any person in the armed forces to desert therefrom or aids any such person in dee sergt or attempt to go desert shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than three years or both. the same chapters and punishments are applicable to a person convicted of harboring or assisting a known deserter. knowingly or willingly advocating, abetting, advising or teaching the overthrow of the destruction of the government of the united states or any state by force or violence is prohibited and is punishable by a fine of not more than $20,000 or imprisonment for more than 20 years or both. this statute is violated by the publication, circulation and or distribution of matter advocating the forceable overthrow of the government. as well as organizing a society for that purpose. and the same punishment is applicable. second 2387 of the same title provides for a $10,000 fine or ten years in imprisonment or both for whoever with intent to interfere with, impair or i

straight to the united states. especially to places like miami. the policy for cuban refugees at this time was such that these refugees would be given asylum as part of a bigger anti-castro, anti-communist policy. a number of requirements were imposed on these early refugee populations. these requirements illustrated how the united states pursued its own cold war self-interest. first, as i have mentioned, the u.s. offered a special welcome for people fleeing communism. second, a preference was given for refugees who were professionals or highly educated or skilled. this was in keeping with other immigration laws of the period. ultimately, while welcoming displaced people has been seen as a humanitarian act, these humanitarian efforts were often centered on the needs of the united states, the helper. these images future refugees who arrived in the united states during this period. the photo on the left features displaced persons who were registering at an emergency refugee center which housed 1,000 people displaced

and how close ford came to be president of the united states. he was a serious candidate for several years in the mid- twenties and but then a number of observers and i'm one of them that think he would have run on the platform to incorporate the ideas that he wanted to build and that's what he wanted to run on. but for those reasons it didn't happen but we came very close to having him as a president in the twenties who have been someone who doesn't have a day of government service coming out of private industry and accustomed to being the boss of ford motor company and with farmers and factory workers people who looked upon him as a genius and for him running the unitedt states that almost happened and the reason it didn't matter we got into and the book that resulted of the richer story and i'm open for questions. >> let's get started with some questions. how did youou get interested in this piece of american history? >> and mentioning a previous book and with the development with the development of the fertilizer industry it's more interesti

is preserve the full faith and credit of the united states. today we will once again take action to do precisely that. a suspension of the debt kroolg will prevent us from defaulting on debt we already owe. this is not about new spending. it's about investments that this congress has agreed to in the past and previously approved. this is about what the american family does every day. they don't get to say i'm not going to make my credit card payment this month. i'm not going to make my mortgage payment this month. maybe i won't make my car payment this month. and i won't honor the personal loan that i signed up for. our vote today is not a novel exercise. congress has addressed the debt limit 78 times since 1960 to prevent default. 29 times with a democrat in the white house. and 49 times with a republican in the white house. ensuring the government can finance its existing obligations is a responsibility that we share jointly in this chamber. regrettably that apparently is not the case this time. our democratic caucus with some hope i believe

over a million hundreds now in the united states, over a million guatemalans now in the united states. and so much of this ha been in the last 10 years after the coup that occurred in honduras in 2009. most americans don't seem to make the connection between what happened there and why so many hondurans are appearing at the border. your thoughts -- you interviewed one family. can you talk about them as well? >> i think it is incredibly important to see this period of honduran migration, which is distinct from other migrations from central america, from guatemala for example, because we are releasing the majority of the people who are now living in the united states coming the last 10 years. for example, this year owning to cbp data, approximately 250,000 hundreds attempted to enter the u.s., similar figures for 2019. so we are saying a dramatic increase of people -- seeing a dramatic increase of people from when i speak to them in mexico, major city in one of the many different routes migrants take through mexico, but people really describe feeling their life has become unlivable in h

it's a threat to the united states militarily. maybe not in terms of the united states being invaded and conquered. no, that's likely not going to happen. but it's still a military threat. we can be damaged by imperial japan and nazi germany and perhaps even more significantly, it's an economic threat to our well-being. if the nazis dominate europe and control the natural resources of europe, if the japanese conquer and control the resources of asia, what will we do? you can say we'll trade with them, but what if they don't trade with us? what if they isolate us economically? how do we grow and prosper. and remember, 1939, 1940, the great depression is not fully over yet. it's gotten better, but it's still on. americans are concerned about their economic well-being. this argument says we might be in a state of permanent depression. we may not have any capacity for economic growth in a world dominated by nazi germany and imperial japan. this is a threat to our interests. we are in danger. our whole way of life can be destroyed by a

that's going to really irritate the united states. but the truth is, america is going to have to negotiate with nations like turkey in order to accomplish what it wants in the world. and that's the bottom line. ah, they were english streaming lied, and i do to channels plus thousands of our programs. award winning documentaries. and you get to choose subscribe to. you choose dot com. forward slash al jazeera english. i prefer to see things for myself. ah, to look at things, not through the lens of politics, but through the lens of humanity. the i've been to the playground where tamir rice was shot and killed. i've been to the streets of ferguson a protest. i've seen the anger and frustration of so many americans. but what was most clear was a desire for change. you can see black lives matter transforming from hash tag to a movement ah, being a journalist is about listening to people and understanding where they're coming from. following a story, no matter how long it takes or where i'm christian for. ah, ah hello, i'm down, jordan and

i think the united states of america needs to step back. if it wants to help any of any assistance to the people who understand it's got in a position to negotiate those conditions. it has, it has been an aggressor. the taliban already made gestures towards russia to its china, to it's the wrong to it's passed on to within an easier would be life states and britain in particular. i think the feeling very upset because this is a defeat. it's a military defeat. however, you want to look at it and not imperial hubris, as it were, will not allow them to say that we need to move forward and continue within negotiations that we began in doha, that they cannot be any more saber rattling. it's no good for the african people with bad credit. let us know what the britain or america you've really got to find a way for the day we're going to be hearing more from those whose lives have changed forever by america. the longest war in special coverage called and heard voices. so the set america's war on terror began enough canister with a goal of changing

the united states movement one. and the experience shows that the diplomacy of the united states is not innovative or tall. they just want to resolve all the problems with force or question. and they also see the, the, the war, the real war like a hollywood movie and they just take arm to resolve the problem. but the result is that they just make a mess when or wherever they go. but you don't think with the 20 year anniversary, $911.00, the americans would realize that they can't use fundamentalist islam. islam keep funding these sorts of groups against their perceived enemies. yeah, because they wouldn't, they have to think a little bit. it's not just if you have power, you can the result of all of the problems with, even in a small family, you cannot do it. set aside the international community. i mean, how you can resolve everything with the force and question that's not possible. the united states army is good for a classic or maybe, but if the groups are there, i mean many people lot of that in the mountains, e

extreme weather in the united states cost the united states of america a total of 99 billion. and this year, we are unfortunately going to break that record. it's a devastating loss to the economy and for so many communities. we failed to curb pollution from smokestacks and tailpipes and continue to use fossil fuels as we do. we increase the risks that firefighters face. we invest in resilience and it saves up to six dollars down the road when the next fire doesn't spread as widely and those investments also save lives. when i think about climate change, i think about not the cost, but about good paying jobs that it will create. i also think about the jobs we are losing, due to impacts in the supply change and industries because we haven't acted boldly enough. we have to build back. you heard me say it again 100 times, not just build back but build back better, as one nation. we've got to do it together. we will get through this together, we just have to keep the faith. folks, we have the bipartisan infrastructure bill that's been passed through this bipartisan, and i believe

theoretically, he is wanted the united states. would he be a legitimate counterterror target for united states military operations? sec. kirby: we will conduct counterterrorism operations that we believe are in the interest of protecting our interests in our people. when there is the credible threat that needs to be dealt with. i do not want to speculate about each and every possible circumstance and each and every possible target. i think you can understand why we don't want to do that right now. >> now that there is no u.s. presence there, who has the authority? now that every time general mckenzie has a potential target, does he have to get permission for the white house or the secretary of defense to conduct strikes in afghanistan going forward? now the taliban are running the government in afghanistan, will the u.s. go to them in advance of strikes, not for approval before coordination. sec. kirby: both the secretary and chairman talked about this. they did not want to leave anyone with the notion that we are somehow in in en

his new book, “humane: how the united states abandoned peace and reinvented war." professor and law townspeople's lofty hopes and dreams. ♪ >>> hello and welcome to nhk "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in new york. the new leaders of afghanistan have seen protest after protest against their rule. they've heard afghans calling for their freedoms and women demanding the right to work and to study. now, the taliban has banned demonstrations that they haven't approved. or

they don't want to war, but united states, i don't think united states wants a war with them. they know what the ultimate consequence of that could be, that they want to continue to bully their way through the china is building and the united states is bombing now. they just lost. they had to leave. afghanistan was never there. so lose they in their parlance, they've lost have dentist and that's a key piece for the chinese belt remote initiative. so as they pull out of that, trying to it continues to bring in the rest of the world around infrastructure and development and not to say george had some good critiques of china is no question about that. but the united states has to join in this world and join as an equal partner with others. and i, and until they do that, we're all our trouble. we're in a lot of a dangerous situation where things can get out of hand in the south china sea in particular, but they're still flashpoints in, in europe as well. so. so this is a situation that us people, i think it's in their hands to pressure their government. i'm not expecting that to h

those will continue to find the determined enemy of the united states. we -- the world today is not the world of 2001 and the united states is not the same country we were when we were attacked on 9/11, 20 years ago. today, we are better equipped to detect and prevent terrorist threats and we are more resilient in our ability to repel them and to respond. we know how to build effective partnerships to dismantle terrorist networks by targeting their finances core systems, touting their propaganda, preventing their travel, as well as disrupting imminent attacks. we will meet terrorist threats that arise today and the future with a full range of tools available to us, including working in cooperation with local partners so that we need not be so reliant on large-scale military deployments. one of most important ways we can effectively enhance security and reducee violence is by seeking to improve the lives of the people all over the world who see that their governments are not serving their needs. corruption fuels inequality, siphons off a nation's resource

out argue is a win-win for the unit states. i think the history has shown the reason engagement has paid off. it is in the interest of the united states and the economic future of the people of afghanistan. the people of afghanistan deserve to be safe and to prosper in their land. that means the united states should allow afghan people access to their own reserves in a monitored and commonsense way or the country will collapse. i also -- i mentioned europe. yes. david: this is david. hold that thought a second. since we are talking central banks, we have some breaking news. bank of japan. rishaad: target, 0%. staying patch. .1% negative here. also the balance right here that is the balance rate we are talking here. leaving the ceiling for exchange unchanged at ¥12 trillion. broadly what was anticipated it looks like. david: yes p.a.d. could take 95% of these headlines dropping and change the date four years ago. they would be exactly the same. with the exception of the green lending program. rishaad: the 2% inflation target. t

it's from 1861 there 34 states in the united states. so it minus the states that succeeded this is an exclusionary flag. removing the stars have not been completed. abraham lincoln was very much against this when he became president. he wanted to emphasize the unit was still together, removing stars from the flag with legit arm and legitimate saws the confederacy. it really isn't amazing flag we have on display connected to the story of the confederate constitution and the crisis over slavery the last few things i want to bring up here, as the united states is expanding even further west there are interesting things going on in places like wyoming and utah. the franchise is expanded into wyoming for example to include women. this is a partly progressive. also partly practical. jim, i know you write about this in the book that accompanied the exhibit. they're actually very few women and wyoming at the time. they're seeking to boost population there is more and more people are moving to wyoming. anything you want to mention here with that

this is what we want to remind the united states off. therefore, our partners decided on our initiative as well as on the initiative of germany to revise the strategic concept of the alliance. being allies does not mean being hostage to the interests of another country. there's been interesting developments in the worsening relations with france and the united states, the u. k. and australia over the new security pact will recall how boris johnson recently said that france needs to quote, get a grip. i just think it's, it's time for some of our dearest friends around the world to pony our grip. about all this done in the break. because this is fundamentally a, a great step forward for global security. it's 3 very like minded allies, standing shoulder to shoulder, creating a new partnership for the sharing of technology. it is not exclusive, i did not trying to to shoulder anybody. i did not at the stereo towards china. now the spat between france and the united states took an interesting turn when joe biden spoke to the un general assemb

yes, everybody listen to joe by the making his person as president of the united states to the united nations general assembly. let's go to our diplomatic editor james base who's been listening to that outside of the united nations. james, that speech went down for about 33 minutes and the general feeling, and i'm sure you'll have specifics that i got was that it was about looking to the future. and it was about global cooperation. but he covered an awful lot of topics . not some of them in any great detail. no, absolutely, but that is the, the nature of these sorta speeches. they are his view on the world that he gives once a year to the other 193 nations, making it quite clear that he thought this was an important moment. a moment of inflection. he said, he said after the great pain of cobra, 194500000 people killed. that was now an exciting opportunity. we certainly heard that there were going to be new commitment from the u. s. in terms of cobra, 1900 vaccines. those are going to be announced in a summit. coby summit, 20 taken based in 24 hours on climate, clearly new commitments

many are being processed and moved on to the united states or in some cases to other places. given the premium that we put on getting people out as quickly and safely as possible, but now the premium on once they are out , either on a lily pad or in the united states, getting into what categories they fit into come up with a locally employed staff, sivs, afghans at risk, potential p1 or p2 parolees, that is what we are doing. i cannot give you specific numbers. i can tell you of the roughly 100 between 4000 people --124, 000 people evacuated, 70% or 80% are afghans at risk. some significant number will be as ivs, either people -- sivs, either those who will rate hold of these at work those in the pipeline. some number will be afghans at risk, prominent and one way or another who may not the into those categories. we are working through those numbers now. i think we will have more to say on that in the days and weeks ahead. the bottom line is, the overwhelming majority are people who came out of afghanistan, were afghans at risk, in one way or another, including a significant

it's hard to believe the camp over my shoulder is in the y united states. it's more reminiscent of somewhere from the third world. law enforcement out here is on record as saying that. here is a live look. at last check sources telling me stilll about 8,600 people living in here. currently get the conditions you can see many of them have pulled plants, sticks, whatever they can find to create some sort of structure here to get out of the blistering hot sun as they are waiting to be processed. take a live look at our drone overhead. we shown this all week to give you an aerial perspective of the size and scope of this camp. law enforcement sources saying as of earlier this morning there were at least 332 women in this camp who are pregnant. many of the migrants are sitting, hoping, and waiting they will have a chance to be released into the united states. we want to show you why the camp got sot big in the first place. look at this exclusive video we shot on saturday. we went onto a boat in the rio grande and what we saw was staggering. hundreds of migrants

under the 2016 memorandum of understanding, between the united states and israel, the united states is committed to replenishing the iron dome so israel can continue to defend itself from attack and protect its citizens. with the funding in this bill, the iron dome would continue to protect millions of civilians. let me repeat, this funding as the bill language clearly states is limited to a system that is entirely defensive. there is no greater demonstration of the defensive nature of this system than the videos showing the iron dome's interception capacity. mr. speaker, the united states has long been committed to the objective of a two-state solution. israelis and palestinians living side by side in a lasting peace. the legislation before us ensures that israel can fully defend all its citizens a necessary condition for lasting peace and our state foreign operations and related programs funding bill passed by the house this summer we provided funding to help meet the humanitarian and development needs of the palestinian people, another requirement for lasting peace. peace must alway

states and those seeking entry to united states. i then conclude with the trump administration and extreme vetting. now some might recall that during the campaign that president -- then republican nominee donald trump, one of his campaign speeches, there was a reference to the cold war and the call for extreme vetting. there is a reference in the book that i include in the book where he says is, well, he says we have these ideological restrictions in the cold war and need extreme vetting. i remember watching that and going my goodness. let's see what happens. and lo and behold, during the trump administration, we have seen efforts to exclude and to deport a extreme vetting that is -- deport and use extreme vetting that is strikingly similar. what has changed is technology. during the social media, data collection and use of social media, there's a real concern that your affiliations, what you like on twitter, or facebook, expression that you carry around in your pocket and on you at all times through the laptop, through the social m

so these are again radical black activists in the united states. again for the overwhelming majority of american people, like the pacifists, this is a group that could essentially be dismisseds, these guys are radical, they have some overarching complaint about u.s. policy, whatever, and like the pacifists are not heard on the nightly news, not reported in "the new york times" or "time" magazine, there is a fairly narrow window of mass media at this point so it is hard to get your voice into those few niches where you can be heard by more than a few hundred or thousand people. so these kind of people are not being loudly heard or really barely heard at all. they're dismissable. pacifists. black radical activists worried about imperialism. the third group that speaks out at this time is the nascent new left we talked about. those white radicals that are 1964 and '65 relatively few in number. many of them associated with the students for democratic society. that group that was formed back in 1960 and then began to spread throughout other campuses aro

states senate. >> 20 years ago, the united states of america was reeling. our initial shock was settling into deeper pain. early confusion was becoming lasting anger. but as the stories of september the 11th began to be told and heard, one thing became clear. in the long run, that people day would not only be remembered as a time when america was briefly laid low. no, that day in the days that followed, we also showed the world how the greatest country in the world sticks together, stays strong, and stands back up. when routine flights became deadly weapons, ordinary passengers used their final moments to save more innocent lives and quite likely this capital. when clear blue skies clouded with smoke, first responders rushed fearlessly towards the biggest calls of their careers and, for too many, their last. as families grieved and cities mourned, volunteers piled up prayers and mountains of goodwill. even higher than the piles of rubble. for 20 years, thousands of our bravest deployed to the lands from which this people was launched to make our refrain, ne

., but across the united states. how bad is the situation? >> i think this is really unprecedented in the entire history. basically, that we have never encountered such a perfect storm. on one hand, the demand surge and also the supply. ed: are things fundamentally wrong with how the supply chain is set up, or are these short-term factors? christopher: i think it is both. in the short-term company containers created the demand surge this year because the demand plummeted last year, so accumulated this year. for the supply side, there was also disruption through the entire world. china had to shut down because of covid and quarantine. also, other asian countries such as vietnam suffered from a lot shut down as well. there is the supply capacity and limitation as well. taylor: i am curious if there is anything we can take away from this time that will allow us to manufacturer and do more on shoring, at least with some of the medical devices in urgent need. do you see that happening? christopher: thank you. this is a very important question. in

braceros bring physical labor into the united states. but the united states still has guest workers and guest workers still work on american farms. what is this guest worker program? why was it important for american agriculture? as i said there was a labor shortage during world war ii. you have the u.s. government and the mexican government would get together and they would say we need this many workers in the united states, we'll recruit them in mexico and bring them into the united states, but they can only work for the set of their contract, for six months, three months, a year, and then they're going to go back to mexico. it's not meant to be an immigration program, it's meant to be a labor program. first the u.s. government was very skeptical of this program. they said a couple of things. the lbor department was worried. we're going to bring all these workers from mexico. isn't that going to bring wages down? secondly, immigration is also worried about this program. they are worried it's going to lead to more undocumented workers.

as is with the united states with them too. for the house republicans, we hold that policymakers and south korea would realize that the long-term interest is best served by working with united states, and we hold china accountable for its behavior. unfair trade practices, sponsorship of genocide -- as you know we talk specifically about the uighur population. i am a sponsor of the uighur policy act. and calling china's treatment of the uighur population is in a genocide. these are things we need to bring to life and really keep china accountable. as a close alliance forged in blood and years of goodwill. these are two countries -- united states and south korea. we stare a strong bond, and we value the strength of that relationship. we should recognize that and stand strong against those who seek to undermine those values. i am sure you have additional thoughts. >> yes. playing off of congresswoman kim, there is a message that we certainly need to deliver to the koreans, which i think is how the koreans are looking at it, is not

if united states, the largest economy in the world, default on its debt, it will plunge, not only our country, that the entire global economy into what could become a severe economic depression. that means massive unemployment, higher interest severe reduction in government services, and possible cuts in such programs as social security and medicare. the responsibility of the n republican leadership is not just something that i worry about. according tots press reports former republican secretaries of state or secretaries of treasury hank paulson, who worked under george w. bush, and stephen mnuchin who worked under donald trump, republican secretaries of the treasury, both of them visited with senator mcconnell to make the case about the need to extend the debt ceiling. they understand as all of us do how important it is united states of america does not default on its debt and it is about time our republican colleagues listen to. let me say a word about the three.$5 trillion reconciliation bill. there has been a lot of talk lately about the need to compromise. let me be clear. to a
