the united states would not go it alone. in the aftermath of the destruction the united states sent strong security alliances that have helped keep our country safe and helped our economies flourish. we created global institutions such as the united nations and financial institutions such as the international monetary fund and world bank to reduce the economic conflict and address global poverty. with strong u.s. leadership and working together with our allies we contained communism and created dynamic world economies and growing markets for u.s. exports. america's middle-class prospered, millions across the world were lifted out of poverty. but over the years new problems developed that were not properly addressed. in the push to grow our economies as we embrace new technologies we did not do enough to prepare our workers and our education systems for the changes underway. while we embrace to trade we neglected those that did not benefit. when we might have adopted policies at home to face these issues and joined with our a

and that includes how it can help both china and the united states and the united states to solve some of these problems and the difficulties between them. although we hope that some of these, particularly maybe we can come to some negotiation solutions that would be outside of it. and so solving these problems including boosting trade around the world so it is important with what happens with other countries and so what we need to do c and trading systems so that countries can once more have a recall for where they can go for energy disputes around central trade rules that are going to be strong for the world. and there has been a paralyzed situation for some time and members can come and that is one area where we really need stronger form including in support of all the members, the u.s., china, the eu, developing countries as well to make this work. and i think that they also need to reform the 21st century issues. and that includes the digital economy. this is one area where the world is moving very fast to drive trade for the foreseeable future. and so to strengthen those rules is

national debt of the united states $28.00 trillion dollars is. i mean that's happened $4.00 trillion dollars from a year ago so now we're looking at another i don't know 5 trillion dollars. a year to to add to this. so far it's been ok you know so far so good. it is starting to be a huge fire and. you know. what are we going to do with it in the future so so far so good means right now we're ok obviously the yields are pretty low the central bank said it's controlling that jan control it. when external and here you know michael burry who did that story about the big short he was the big shark that made a movie about it by going start the subprime market in 2008 he's coming out very aggressively suggesting or adding to why mark germany's type of hyper inflation based on all this money printing. what do you think well the signs of inflation are no every we're in there are increasingly bizarre signs of inflation that i haven't seen before with with some really erratic price increases in different things. you know hyper inflation is. a huge and i don

states or the alliance with united states. north korea is a concern but it's a different kettle of fish if you like to compare to china with china what we're seeing is an expansion of its military on the political and claims over the south china sea which a graphical claims if you like expressed in military terms by the occupation and the construction of artificial island in the occupation off island with military assets and that's causing a direct concern to a lot of states within the asia pacific particularly countries in the around the south china sea south asian countries like vietnam in particular philippines and what's happening here is that they're trying to secure the few lines of communication for this is expressed in terms of the modernization and expansion of naval assets quite naturally so in order to secure these maritime waterways from scenarios in which they could be altercations with chinese national battle or naval and commercial in nature which could lead to an inadvertent escalation between partners so that

naval officers but the united states has also the support of australian japanese and indian warships in this region even france and the u.k. are sending vessels to the region as well that's one simple measure so how much does china spend on its military well the official number in 2019 was 183 and a half 1000000000. dollars but it also funds the militia and various other security services taking its total spending to an estimated $240000000000.00 this is still short of the $705000000000.00 that washington spends on its defense budget and the total number comes to $934000000000.00 when you take into account the budget for homeland security the cia and other american agencies so with a more assertive china the united states and the philippines restarted joint military exercises after last year's cancellation due to the pandemic but the 50 plus year defense pact hangs in the balance because of the philippines president roderigo to tertius initial decision to walk away from it for counting the costs al-jazeera has more now from manila. the u.s. they are duros yvel to a strike group retur

and distinct honor of presenting to you the president of the united states. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. mr. president mr. speaker members of the house and the senate distinguished americans here as visitors in this chamber as am i it is nice to have a fresh excuse for giving a long speech. when presidents speak to congress and the nation from this podium typically they comment on the full range and challenges and opportunities that face the united states. but this is not an ordinary time and for all the many tasks that require our attention. i believe tonight one calls on us to focus to unite and to act. and that is our economy. are more than anything else our tasks tonight is americans is to make our economy thrive again. let me begin by saying that it has been too long. at least three decades since the president has come and challenged americans to join him on a great national journey. not merely to consume the bounty of today but to invest for a much greater one tomorrow. like individuals nations must ultimately decide how they wish to condu

they have simply collapsed and so the government, at least the united states and the other economies have, they have borrowing from those not expected. does the same as my stock markets are so crazy high. no one expected interest rates to be so low. unfortunately, there are a lot of countries in the world, maybe most of countries in the world that do not have this luxury and they're paying much higher interest rates and they're still borrowing as they should in a crisis like this. but the situation is much more precarious. it but the situation is much more precarious-_ precarious. it is interesting but ou precarious. it is interesting but you just _ precarious. it is interesting but you just use _ precarious. it is interesting but you just use the - precarious. it is interesting but you just use the word | precarious. it is interesting - but you just use the word crazy high to describe stock market levels in the us and you said thatis levels in the us and you said that is all about the consistently low interest rates that we have seen. instead the danger of complacency in the stock m

there emissions are now longer -- larger than the united states and europe combined. india is starting down that road area you see at the summit yesterday, the chinese communist leaders, be -- xi jinping saying they will continue to go up. they are really playing us for fools. i think a lot of people in the media go along with that, it is like they are part of the team, they are a party to the paris climate treaty, so they are doing their part. there emissions keep going up and economy goes rooming and we are putting off on our economy by making these promises. host: if you charge on the new york times demonstrating what you're talking about, emissions by country in the united states here on the left. declining emissions as you can see. european union is the same. then there is india, and on the far right and large increase there is china. during his remarks in the climate summit yesterday, president xi jinping of china had this to say about emissions. >> we will continue to prioritize clout -- economical -- china will strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions before 20

the united states. how to. stretch. across the country. welcome to. it's good to have you with us japanese prime minister yoshida is set to be the 1st world leader to visit u.s. president joe biden on friday reports suggest an increasingly assertive china will be a key fim of the talks japan is also a security ally of the united states and both have defined the nation as a quote cornerstone of peace security and prosperity in the indo-pacific region i'll be discussing that further with an expert in a moment but 1st this report. and president and a prime minister new to their leadership roles but each with years of experience treading the fine line of tough diplomacy. increasingly the main tools of such diplomacy look like this. u.s. exercises with asian allies meant to deter aggression. aggression especially from the chinese who have just this week sent fighter jets to skirt taiwanese airspace. taiwan itself proclaims its strength by showing off new naval hardware. all this as u.s. diplomats diplomatically told the people's republic of china the p.r.c

if the united states should announce that we will quit. regardless of what the enemy does we would have thrown away our principal bargaining counter to win the release of american prisoners of war. we would remove the enemy strongest incentive to end the war sooner by negotiation. and we will have given enemy commanders the exact information. they need to marshal their attacks against our remaining forces. their most vulnerable time the issue very simply is this. shall we leave vietnam in a way that by our own actions consciously turns the country over to the communists. or shall we leave in a way that gives the south vietnamese a reasonable chance to survive as a free people? my plan will end american involvement in a way that would provide that chance. and the other plan. would any precipitatively? and give victory to the communists. in a deeper sense we have the choice of ending our involvement in this war on a note of despair. or on a note of hope i believe. as thomas jefferson did that americans will always choose hope over despair. w

ups alone ships 6 million kilos of ppe to the united states. although we have caught up most certainly on that, there was an environment of extreme stress and shipping as well. cover also to other things going on, one was airport restrictions and what government things were happening and how they had an impact, but no question it played a role in slowing down the allocation of the central good that we needed. the second issue with his one not salt today is we are still navigating the health articles related to essential workers moving across borders to facilitate air cargo. the timing and conditions is precise, we are still operating in environment today of challenges and unpredictability because we don't have a common standard there. it is not often thought of as an important part of the supply chain, but it certainly is. the only think about the landscape that we can and can't change, from our perspective the concentrate and -- concentration of sourcing had a major impact on the successes of the supply chain and that can be changed. the expor

justice we, they said they were a rival of the united states. under the paris accord, they try to slide under as a developing nation. i support renewable energy technology when it makes sense as a part of our portfolio, but they do have restrictions and limitations. if we are going to move in this direction of aggressive renewable energy, who makes 90% of the solar energy -- china. who is refusing to produce domestically? the battery technology, they have it. we cannot play into china's hands, resulting in losing american jobs, increasing our trade deficit. have all sorts of limitations. the clear success and strategy we have had in the united states. host: you come to the energy issue with a lot of background at the national level, serving on capitol hill, and the local level in louisiana. as the president came in, general motors announced their goal of changing over their entire fleet to alternative electrical vehicles by 2050. there were major energy companies sing we will reduce our carbon emissions. do you think that is driven more by busin

it was an agreement made by the united states government. that means something. keeping with that agreement and our national interest, the united states will begin our final withdraw beginning on may 1 of this year. we will not conduct a hasty rush to the exit. we will do it in full coordination with our allies and partners. they now have more forces in afghanistan than we do. they attack us as we draw down. we will defend our partners with all the tools at our disposal. our allies and partners have stood beside us shoulder for shoulder in afghanistan for 20 years. we are grateful for the contributions they have made to our shared mission and the sacrifices they have borne. the plan has long been in together, out together. u.s. forces deployed by our nato allies, they will be up for mark the 20th anniversary of that heinous attack on september 11. we will not take our eye off the terrorist threat. we will reorganize our counterterrorism capabilities. we have substantial assets in the region to prevent the reemergence of terrorist and threats to our homeland. we w

yes the united states at large western europe had an experience that east asia had a very different experience there can be all sorts of reasons but does that suggest to you that east asia is not quite as decadent in the same ways that there might be something we can learn from their experience? >> absolutely. one of the takeaways from the whole year is that political desk decadence is unevenly distributed within the us basic scientific research is less decadence than the cdc the fact what we did with vaccines was not decadent or testing at the outset of the pandemic reflected all of the institutional failures that i call decadent there is an even distribution within the country within the culture and uneven distribution worldwide that east asia looks more decadent than the western world but was state capacity to respond nimbly or those forces that basically enable a cooperation between the state and citizenry which is the thing we associate in the us with how we won world war ii , that seems much stronger in east asia including anglo nations in australia and new zealand men in either the us o

from any other parts of the united states. and >> in the guatemalan foothills, there is a mysterious training depot where some of the raiders may have been based. the government denies cues are among the soldiers being instruction, but they say otherwise. professional children with teachers. and once trained, the men mysteriously disappear. guatemala has had no beef for the castro busy regime and has aided the rebels. in cuba itself, the people have been -- by castro to push back the invaders, and 300,000 militiamen have been mobilized. the invasion was successful and it's really areas with castro of course blaming the u.s.. it is the first change in his armor? november 2nd 1960, a new york times television review wrote, quote, an exciting new voice, provocative, sensible and challenging him to television last night doctor albert burke former director of graduate studies at yale university. next, on real america. we believe that broadcast with educational television pioneer, albert berke. using footage and interviews from cuba

president of the united states. thanks. thanks thanks thanks thanks presidential pardons just and to his joint session of congress is about to speak. about a number of policy priorities of accomplishment with lots of fighting for the united states. is expected to talk about the negotiations over his economic plan and how he handled the coronavirus pandemic as one of the status of vaccinations and also this massive infrastructure and jobs package that he'll be allfired in which is going to be costing $1.00 trillion dollars. which is credible which a stout thank you thank you thank you usually 1600 people would be i don't know that like this to have a joint session of congress how sad it bears guests although almost all that is off the table because of the pandemic so it's going to be probably much more muted event the more used to. tell a fascinating optic here to see as you have 2 women that stood beside him that's a pelosi and harris i think honor to present to you the president of enormous thank you. thank you thank you t

states, so we know that that is a crucial test, we also know from the united states perspective should listen to the doctor and others who have been calling upon this poor vaccines and administration in which we would invest in manufacturing capacity and banned in this moment also continuing to inoculate people and that includes yesterday we will likely need a booster shot within 12 months of having our first inoculations completed. so that would be important for the now and also continually protecting people and for others that may prove themselves to be preventable with this technology. but i do think questions are really important because i think that it would be a gross who hubris as we in washington dc and others were only to talk about the need for global vaccine inequities, and the rollout that we have had here in the united states, in every state we have not had equity achieved in vaccination program and in every state we are lagging this and that includes within the community, especially here in the united states, we had to sue the governor to force new york state to prioritiz

it former nation the united states military has begun strikes on terrorist training camps in afghanistan it was just weeks just weeks after the terrorist attack on our nation that killed 2977 innocent souls that turn lower manhattan into a disaster area destroyed part of the pentagon and made hallowed ground in a field in shanksville pennsylvania and sparked an american promise that we would never forget went to afghanistan in 2001 to root out al qaeda to read future terrorist attacks against the united states planned from afghanistan our objective was clear the cause was just our nato allies and partners rallied beside us and i supported that military action along with the overwhelming majority of the members of congress more than 7 years later in 2008 weeks before we swore the oath of office president obama and i were about to swear president.

i'm now the fourth united states president to preside over american troop presence in afghanistan. two republicans, two democrats. i will not pass this responsibility on to a fifth. after consulting closely with our allies and partners, with our military leaders and intelligence personnel, with our diplomats and development experts, with the congress and vice president as well as with mr. gaw nee and many others around the world, i concluded it's time to end america's longest war. it's time for american troops to come home. when i came to office, i inherited an agreem that all u.s. forces would be out of afghanistan by may 1, 2021. just three months after my inauguration. that's when we inherited that commitment. perhaps not what i would have negotiated myself but it was an agreement made by the united states government. so in keeping with that agreement, with our national interest, the united states will begin our final withdrawal, begin it, on may 1 of this year. we will not conduct a hasty rush to exit. we'll do it responsibly, deliberately and safely and we will do it in full c

part in the 2 day virtual summit let's take a listen what he said just moments ago the united states sets out on the road to cut greenhouse gases in half and half by the end of this decade. that's where we're headed as a nation and that's all we can do if we take action to build an economy that's not only more prosperous but healthier fair and cleaner for the entire planet you know these steps will set america on a path of missions or kaname by no greater than 2050 but the truth is america represents less than 15 percent of the world's inventions no nation can solve this crisis on our own as i know you all fully understand all of us all of us and particularly those of us who represent the world's largest economies we have to step up and there was a president joe biden speaking earlier i'm now joined by some some comedy that we correspondents in washington and in washington d.c. good to see so we flesh this out for us if you will what is this big climate agenda that the president has unveiled well you mentioned the most important point we heard there from joe biden as well that the u.

it will take a lot of work to rebuild confidence in the united states it will take determination over time and i will hasten to add with people in government alone. even in the last four years, when the government retreated if they leaned in and those of us -- of the u.s. in the tech sector, especially, it's a powerful reminder of the opportunity we have to contribute for this enormous responsibility we have to entrust ourselves to have guardrails around technology and to do more to address the concerns that people have, often times about technology itself. john: well, as we face 2021, you know it's just recently the last few days, where the first indicators came to us about covid. in less than a year, we have suffered hundreds of thousands of millions of infected, the tanking of our economy, separate but related, a national reckoning on race and social justice are very clear indicator that there is a climate crisis right on the horizon with the whole presidential election , which has played out very poignantly in the last 24 hours of our conversation and another president, another gr

bush informed our nation that the united states military had begun strikes on terrorist training camps in afghanistan. it was just weeks, weeks after the terrorist attack on our nation that killed 2970 seven innocent souls, that turned lower manhattan into a disaster area, destroyed parts of the pentagon, and made hallowed ground of a field in shanksville, pennsylvania. promise that it sparked an american promise that we would never forget. we went to afghanistan in 2001 to root out al qaeda, to prevent future terrorist attacks planned from afghanistan. the objective was clear, the cause was just. supported that military action along with overwhelming majority of the members of congress. more than seven years later, in 2008, weeks before we swore the oath of office, president obama and i were about to swear, president obama asked me to travel to afghanistan and report back on the state of the war in afghanistan. i flew to afghanistan to the kunar valley, a rugged, mountainous reon the board we are pakistan. what i saw on that trip reinforced my conviction that only the afghans had the

yeah you already mentioned it it really depends on the region and here in the united states and experts actually believe that the effect might be limited there probably is enough of exceeding a lift from the more during or and pfizer beyond takes till that there won't be any significant delays when it comes to mass effects in asians here in the united states clearly the big question mark is was all the headlines that we had surrounding us president it can even if that is not approved here in the united states and all johnson and johnson if people might become more hesitant to get any vixie in at all and vaccinations i mean that's one of the keys to really get the economy going but looking outside of the united states europe was betting on johnson and johnson some countries in africa like south africa for example they were also hoping that johnson and johnson might help to mass next innate to the population and so it could have an effect on those economies and reopening some having that said there is clearly some of what we've heard from experts that it only might take a couple of days a

these kinds of human rights abuses this is exactly ward the united states have done to justify wars in libya afghanistan syria iraq across latin america i know you've been asked before about this why did you take funding from the national endowment for democracy knowing the brutality and the 10s of millions killed wounded tortured or displaced at the hands of national endowment for democracy policies around the world well we established campaign for a course in the fall of 2017 in order to advocate for this nest on president that human rights atrocity in the world after the holocaust we found campaign for it was 2017 my sister was abducted and september 28th when i quit my full time job as an international business development director from the consulting firm that i was working and i became full time activist one year and were 3 of my sisters at the actually funded by the national endowment for democracy i really started funding from october 2090 i don't mean to wiggers there's no funding from the national and our democracy to help salute not absolutely not i to look at look at record
