who gets a better defense, a most rigorous defense? i look at personalities all the way around. do you think that the anger and mistrust is placed at the most visibility part of the system or that maybe it lies somewhere else, should be sent somewhere else? >> to be clear police departments, many of them have a lot of work to do internally and i think the d.c. police department, which-- which is a good police department, now, but still not perfect, still has a lot of work to do, so i don't want to let police departments off the look, but that being said, i think you're absolutely right and this is something that you know, my colleague christie lopez who worked at the justice department for many years investigating the most abusive police departments in the country like in ferguson, missouri. one of the points that she always makes when we teach together. called innovative policing and one of the points she makes to our law students, you guys, you're going to be the legislators, you're going to be the prosecutors, the defense attorneys and even if you're not you're one of the peo

depending how you describe defense spending that encompasses all natural defense programs and then the defense department shared 715 billion of biden's request in the subcommittee have a smaller share because they'll have military construction so those are the dollar amounts we are talking about. one.6 percent increase over the current level. or it would be if enacted. versus on the left a 10 percent decrease they had a vote on that last year which did not go well for the liberals and to the read write people like senator inhofe who chairs the committee would like to see at least a 3 percent annual increase or three or 5 percent of what he is advocating so biden hasn't gone the way the liberals want the not quite as high as inhofe once but it would definitely be a dispute still have to figure out the total amount of discretionary spending and all the subcommittee allocations in the senate so it will be a big dispute they are that i should point out that the amount of spidey spending biden is proposing for defense is the largest amount since world war ii of inflation adjusted terms exce

masking is one defense against the spread of covid-19. but make no mistake, vaccines are the best defense events you getting severely ill from covid-19. the very best defense. and do you want to know how we put this virus behind us? i will tell you how, we need to get more people vaccinated. look, it is important to understand what vaccines are due in what they don't do. put simply, the vaccines are designed to save lives and prevent illness. they are highly effective at both. 190million americans had at least one shot. of that group about 90 are done now. and 10% are waiting for the second shot. to those folks who have a one shot but not the second, go get the second shots. even if you're overdue for the second shot it is not too late. go get to the second shots, now, now. the bottom line is if you are fully vaccinated your highly protected from covid-19. but i also know that many of you who are vaccinated are concerned what's called a breakthrough cases. yes, some fully vaccinated people will still test positive. some will show some sym

i'm in ron calling into the top stories on al jazeera kennedy is president of fact the justice and defense ministers. the nighttime curfew has been extended and gatherings have been limited on sunday. he dismissed the prime minister and put a freeze on parliament adagio. i find it surprising how some people are talking about a so called cou, i have followed the constitution, the conditions were met. and among these conditions, there were procedural terms and all of these conditions were respected. i've been invited the prime minister that i have dismissed and informed him, and then i call the house speaker. and i told him that i will be resorting to article 80 of the constitution after which i declared the exceptional measures and the presence of permanent danger. security forces dressed in civilian clothing have stolen your fears about them and shook his press freedom advocates of condemned the closure. and so has the un spikes person for the un secretary general were dismayed by these reports. and we hope that all reporters, including the ones that al jazeera will be able to go about the

who gets a better defense in a most vigorous offense i think the personality all the way around maybe the mistrust and the most visible part of the system and lies somewhere else and should be senter somewhere else. >> to be clear police departments many of them have a lot of work to do internally in the d.c. police department which is a good police department but still not perfect and has a lot of work to do, i don't want to let police department off the hook. but that being said i think you're absolutely right this is something that you know my colleague kristi lopez who worked at the justice department many years investigating the abusive police departments like in ferguson missouri one of the points that she makes when we teach together we teach innovative policing in one of the points that she makes to our law students, you guys, you are going to be the legislators and the prosecutors and the defense attorneys and even a few none of those things you're gonna be the people who vote for all those people and the people who make the laws and don't go saying the problem is the cops, y

and so the self defense forces, one of their missions is to, to go to these disaster zones. and to kind of add some manpower to a situation where, you know, otherwise local authorities might be overwhelmed elsewhere. and she's the prefecture cruiser rescuing people from floodwaters. rains are expected to continue in several areas. in the next 2 days. inter chappelle al jazeera, the thousands of joined nationwide protests and became offensive against ongoing attacks by armed groups. demonstrated say, the government has failed to stop the violence and what politicians held accountable. as nicholas sax reports, there is no escape from the violence explains that result the sweat ago, it was in april 2019 that fighters from the stomach state in the greater sahara storm resolved church during sunday service and set it on fire. she says the then lined up all the men and boys of or village and killed them when by what had happened between us is northern province as to what to go says the art groups control not only her village, but large swath of land nearby forcing christian to con

i would even say let's look at the defensive bar. who gets a better defense. do you think may be a lot of the anger and distrust is placed at the most visible part of the system where it really lies somewhere else, should be said to somewhere else? >> i think the police departments, many of them have a lot of work to do it internally, and i think that the dc police department, which is a good police department but still not perfect, still has a lot of work to do. i don't want to let police department off the hook. but with that being said, you are absolutely right and this is something my colleague who worked at the justice department for many years investigating some of the most abusive police department's in the country, like in ferguson missouri, one of the points that she always makes when we teach together because of course we teach innovative policing and one of the points she makes to the law students is you're going to be the legislators, you're going to be the prosecutors, you're going to be the defense attorneys and even if you're not you will be the

and certainly our military is the best defense against the ongoing aggression. while we are not under the article, fly for the washington treaty, and we have is russia. so, you know, self is the best way. how to show that there will be higher court still brought russia. you for the decide to move into interview, you create more than ukraine yet in the end of the day though, the sailors are going to be going home, and russia will continue to a search control over the crime in peninsula. so do these drills actually make a difference besides being a show of force? oh, certainly, this is a said that the great news, we better in better shape and because of the separation and establish ties. so we will be more capable of doing the event. there is some good program that is united kingdom and turkey, how to reveal to ukrainian navy will last capacity during the integration of the year. and that's why, as far as the maritime security concern that you created more will or will be southern of from the direction of it. why this is because i with the building capacity of the

bar, who gives a better defense. and i think it's all the way around. people who may be our anger or have mistrust. in the most visible part of the system t where maybe it lies somewhere else. it should be spent somewhere else. rosa: to be clear, think the department many of them have a lot of work to do. internally and i think police department which is a good police department, still imperfect and has a lot of work to do. i will let them off the hook but, that being said to come i absolutely right and this is something that my colleagues christine who worked at the justice department for many years investigating some of the most abusive police departments in the country rated like a focus in missouri were the voice that she always s makes when we speak together is in tomatoes policing. one of the points he makes to her law students is you guys are going to be legislatures going going to be the prosecutors and defense attorneys and even it if you're none i of those things yu will be the citizens who vote for all of

and according to the defense fallen line with what while way has been claiming for years. here is former vice president for media affairs for a while way canada benjamin house, back in may, 2019. the criminal case against miss munger is based on allegations that are simply untrue. to the contrary, it was made clear that the business activities by miss mung, were conducted openly and transparently with the full knowledge of banking officials. according to an official statement obtained by rti from war way. these documents, consisting of emails and other hsbc records show, there is no evidence of fraud on h. s. b c. they show that wiley's control over sky. com was not kept from senior hsbc executives that the continuing nature of scott comes business with one way any ran was not kept from senior hsbc. executives that internal hsbc risk assessments were made based on knowledge of the true facts and that any reputational risks were managed with the knowledge of senior hsbc executives. both main and war. wait deny allegations that she misled hsbc about why we control over sky.

former defense secretary. and the director of strategic command at the defense department. this is about 45 minutes. >> thank you all for being here. i am in adjunct fellow from the hudson institute. i am joined today by a distinguished panel and let me start introducing them. she doesn't really need an introduction but nevertheless, i will offer one up. she is the co-founder of west exec founders. sheet previously, of course was the secretary defensive policy. likewise, if you follow national security on the hill, you know congressman seth moulton. representative from massachusetts sixth district. he is a former marine. he now sits on the house armed services committee among other committees and is very active on defense matters. finally, we have the privilege of being joined, -- joined by the director of the strategic capabilities office. they report to the deputy secretary of defense. they have eight technical background. the previous he helped readership position at nasa and the aeronautics development. the topic is called transform and defense for a competitive era. th

the move for the 9th, during the visit to manila, buying us defense secretary lloyd austin. yes, president joe 5 has a nice list of incenses and restrictions to try to get more americans vaccinated against corporate. 19 federal employees who want to not kill agents, will need to masks regular tests. and other 27 coven infections have been confirmed until cues. and then pick the village and the highest daily number since officials began. and i, and cases among people specifically linked to the game, to athletes are among those and fax it the u. s. congress has passed a bill, increasing the number of visas for african allies in face taliban retaliation. its allies, an additional $8000.00 visas and $500000000.00 for emergency transportation and hi isn't a $2000000000.00 emergency funding bill was passed unanimously by the senate. it also includes legislation loosening some visa requirements for african allies. well, the 1st group of afghans who helps international forces archie arrive in the united states, but thousands of others still haven't been approved to leave under a wai

who gets better defense are morete vigorous defense? maybe that mistrust is placed at the other part of the system where it should be sent somewhered else. >> police departments many have aan lot of work to do internally. which is a good police department. it's a has a lot of work to do. but want to let police departments off the hook. but that being said you are absolutely right and working with the justice department for many years in the way we teach innovative policing one of the points she makes to our last students is you guys will be the legislators and the prosecutors and the defense attorneys and for all of those people and then just to say that you have to be a part of that change so when you are a prosecutor or a judge on the city council you can just pull out your fingers to the police because they will enforce the laws thatoi you make they will prosecute the people you bring to them so no question about it. i think it's always easier to have a target and police are the invisible face it is easier to direct the anger at them

i'm telling you that you are th last line of defense. during that time where you are sacrificing your body to hold the door it gave us and the officers who have been sent tha hallway to escape down to the other end of the hallway i shudder to think about what would've happened had you not tell blind. i have two young children ten -year-old son in there the ligh of my life. the reason i was able to hunt them again is because of the courage that you and your fello officers shared. just too really tell you that this is a heartfelt thank you and i think it's important for everybody to remember the main reason these rioters did not come within any members of congress is because they couldn't find any members of congress. and they didn't find us because law enforcement officers did their job that day. i think without you would have been a terrible and tragic day we have been even more tragic s thank you to all of you. now they did talk a little bit about that video you talked about this in your opening statement but can you walk us through it'

they are committed to the defense of the saudi monarchy. they never say we are committed to the defense of the human rights of the people. yet i did not even words. they are not willing to say these words. and to be honest, this is the ugly reality of, of the american administration. be it by the administration or, or previous administration from carter on is the same, is the same thing. no, nothing has changed and i don't anticipate anything change the, you know, the way this is this story. i don't know what you think the purpose of this visit is what you think will be on the agenda today. then that the, the secretary procedure, they said they will come to the defense of the saudi monarchy against loke, against region 4, such as iran, the word iran is used to cover up other issues including we have anticipating anticipating a mass nationwide protest injured in july. i did this month, so basically for the survivor, the saudi monarchy. so the us government in fact, will support the monarchy against those protest. and he, you will see that at

but let's be honest, that was a 100 boss from the national defense university in washington d. c. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world. search and rescue teams have pulled more bodies from the rubble of the collapse. high rise in florida . one of the victims is the 7 year old daughter of a miami firefighter. the recovery brings the desk told to $22.00 officials have evacuated, another condo building in the area over the years that it is also unsafe. residents were only given 2 hours to leave. florida residents are also in the path of hurricane l, so it is already pounded. barbados and st. vincent high speed wins. rip the roof, tossed of homes, toppled trees and cut power while heavy rain flooded the streets. emergency cruise has not yet been able to reach everyone in need, but so far, no injuries or deaths have been reported. un officials have told the security council that more than 400000 people in t o p as t gray region are now suffering from famine. the region has been cut off from aid fighting broke out last year. the un warned of new clash

he's a former us secretary of defense. i've got a son and pakistan and a senior fellow at the center for strategic and international studies, mississippi could help me with on the program. again. we conflicting accounts really of the situation in the western province, but an indicator in suppose of where sort of northern taliban factions think strategic locations that easy enough to take and to take easily. well, the title of bond clearly long plan is offensive. following the removal of us international troops was essentially completed in the last week or so. the focus on the north, i think, took a lot of people by surprise as the north was not on strong bold. but it was also the area that was least well defended by after courses enforcement had concentrated in the south east. however, the intention of the tal bond to seek military victory as opposed to the fuel efforts trying to talk peace has been clear for some time is on a military victory and the working yeah, i didn't mean to interrupt your thought process, but is it

so cold self defense, collectives are not unique to us. we're sitting violence in many parts of the country has led to the creation of armed self defense forces in states like get a t o and be chicken as well. experts say the rise of vigilante groups in mexico is muddying the waters of an already difficult fight between security forces and organized criminal gangs. making it even harder to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad. it's unclear who the leader of l much it is with the activities of the armed collective have attracted the attention of top mexican officials. remember a can. so to the starters, we do not agree with these self defense groups. under no circumstances do we accept that groups are being armed and calling themselves self defense. it's the government's responsibility to guarantee peace. and that's what we're doing. but indigenous communities throughout mexico say that's not the case. pointing to successive governments, they say, have ignored their concerns for generations. since june of this year, confron

it is certainly an offense defense mix for an active defense. the previous administration, in their missile defense review, they tried to get some of these problems we laid out. you mentioned the debacle that happened during the previous administration. there was other program that didn't come to fruition. the gdi that president trump wanted deployed were not deployed because of the debacle of the rkd program and a lisa biden administration with all kinds of directions to take. there is some rumors at this point that the biden administration might be focusing on some of these more advanced programs for this notion of something to trade for arms control with the russians. you see in scholarships, there is pressure to include missile defense in arms control treaties with russia. what is your view of that and do you share a concern that it going to be -- among the more advanced programs could be on the table for negotiation? mr. turner: i think there needs to be a redline on risk -- missile defense being part of an arms-control negotiation. russia

the defense ministry says turkish forces immediately 5 bank turkey launched across border operation in 2016 to drive at iso am to and kurdish. why pain g 5 is tricky, continues to maintain a heavy military presence in northwest syria. russel sada, has more from assemble the turkish officials are confirming that their site is coming from the y p g. but when it comes to way p g distribution is a little bit complicated because y p g is enjoying the support from both russia and the usa was 2 countries are being considered by turkey as allies. just the attach that to please. yes. so they have been carried out from total pounds, which is under the protection under the control of russia and the syrian government, which means that the 2 actors also protecting white peasy by the turkish fort administration for the ministry. and the defendant is so far didn't national russia because it has concern that any escalation between us and moscow called have a negative impact on the delicate reason in the live where 4500000 people's leaving that. and that is potentially could trigger maybe one of the re

missile defense systems and also missile defense systems. again, traditional, even supersonic cruise missiles, so it's more of a means to continue to threaten high end conventional military capabilities rather than i think. and you just in drunk of the united services institutes, we appreciate your time. so thank you very much indeed. so ahead and i'll just 0, the baffle within a south korean warship as it becomes a symbol of the world's fight against cold at 19, that's far from over the open to party england lives. corona virus restrictions that signs this morning could soon have a $100000.00 cases a day plus time. peter, they'll be here in lucky in central finland. we've come here with a question. can international top flight sport survive? the corona, virus global pandemic. find out the answer to that a little later here on out to 0. a that we stepped away from the hot and dry and description of the radium peninsula in the middle east generally. but it's coming back, you get hot and dry is not a bit more standard. clearly there are shower

and the conservatives are more align and more traditional aspects of nato, a common defense of military spending, these kinds of things. but really, germany has a long history of not really stepping up to the plate to meet global responsibilities as a major power and has disappointed the united states and many, many times in many ways. and that could be the result regardless of the party, that winds where the cold coalition that comes together after september's elections will in blue cross reporting for thank you. we just had time for reminder now of our top story. severe storms across germany have unleashed some of the worst flooding in decades. at least 80 people have died and hundreds are missing. many homes have been destroyed as well. the army has been deploy to some of the worst areas coming up next to more on transfer medical visit to washington and daniel winter, it has to be a business. and a few moments today with the news in december, 2019 the european council president showed me shows embarked on a ground breaking mission. i have a clear job to make sure of the 1st time jenn

the secretary of defense it. he told me he was not allowed to request the support and i asked him if he wanted me to share that and he said no. i can't even ask for the support is what he told me. but he did say if i do call you, will you be able to support me? i said, yes, but i have to bit -- get approval from the secretary of the army and the secretary of defense. sen. klobuchar: he had been denied by the sergeant at arms and that is a subject for last week. the subject for today is given all that -- and we know we would have been in much better shape if they had been called in ahead and if he had authority -- but now we are into the day and it is june 22 and you are on the phone with them and asking for this authorization, which you felt was unusual to get. is that right? maj. gen. walker: i thought the delay was unusual. we were in support of the metropolitan police department. when the metro top -- metropolitan police department left the traffic control points, what i wanted to do was take those guards and

and those materials are barbarian than the defense ministry said circus forces immediately fight back. india's military is stepping up rescue operations and the western state and her astra and other coastal regions, the heaviest july rains in decades of course, devastating floods more 100 people and died and many more are missing thought of hired has this report. calm after the chaos was an all too familiar scene across india. oh, it's hard for many to take in home in lives. destroyed. household items are all that's left. a reminder of how relentless the annual monsoon rains have been this year. and kita, the pain of loss, is just too much to bear with me because i can't see anything here in my house, my people, my neighbors. i cannot find anyone flooding in the last slide in this village in the states my roster. i have less people with nothing. john i got one. yesterday we didn't have the materials for cremation. it was raining heavily. we had nothing so that's why we dug a pit and buried everyone together. more than 100 people have been killed in just 2 days in my horror struck many

and that michelle defense system is aimed at stopping missiles coming in to the city from beyond the city limits. and james, in terms of the security situation in afghanistan, we understand that the turkish presidents as also wage in what more can you tell us? and this regard well we had talk so we can go on again and go home until the weekend. they seem to have made some progress. but the key thing they didn't get was any sort form of ceasefire. and we believe that those talks will come back off the aid possibly for another round. but another key piece of the puzzle is coble air force. that is absolutely vital for all the foreign embassies that are based here for the un, for the international n g o. doing all that humanitarian work throughout afghanistan, that airport is operating and operating normally so that he get people and supplies in and out. and in the extreme situation, they can actually evac off the plan now is for turkey to take over the running of that airport. the taliban, though object to turkeys, troops being based at the airport. this is what president odor one had t

and so the self defense forces, one of their missions is to, to go to these disaster zones. and to kind of add some manpower to a situation where, you know, otherwise local authorities might be overwhelmed elsewhere. and she's over the prefecture cruiser rescuing people from floodwaters brains. are expected to continue in several areas in the next 2 days and are chappelle helps 0 time for a short break here and just here, right. when we come back, i'm just seeing human insight julian, historical building, which has just been refurbished for us to start the process. next, we'll explain how the double threats of fragile wetlands in spain, a local man tells us europe. suppose climate refugees will be from his town more than a hello there. let start in north america and forest fires are raging across western canada. this was the scene in british columbia. those sparked by lightning strikes thanks to the record heat wave we've seen there recently. and those hot dry conditions are expected to fuel the frames, but temperatures have come down slightly. that heat has pushed into more

we are always going to maintain the capability of self-defense. we possess the military means and have several options to fully protect our forces in afghanistan and throughout the region. in centcom, the uss ronald reagan carrier strike group is on station. a package of long-range bombers and troop formations are postured to quickly respond if necessary. we will always protect our nation. we maintain an agile counterterrorism capability that is effective now to detect and address any terrorism threat to the united states. in addition to our mission in afghanistan, we continue to defend this country from other threats. we are monitoring north korea, russia, iran, watching china while maintaining strategic deterrence. the department of we are making sure there is no and keep a watchful eye on haiti and cuba. we do all those things serving at home, as well. and i want to recognize the great efforts of our national guard and active duty soldiers fighting wildfires in pacific northwest. as of tuesday morning, california and nevada national guard c-130

most important is the department of defense. the president will ask the defense secretary lloyd austin to study how covid-19 can be added to the list of vaccinations already required of service members. but important to note, at least as of now, we do not believe the president will be calling on the service members to be included in this requirement today. jake. >> all right, jeff zeleny, thanks so much. while we wait for president biden to come out, let's talk about this. we should note also that the requirement he's about to introduce on federal employees to all get vaccinated, that does not apply to congress, which is a separate branch, even though it's the federal government. he's not mandating whether congress has to do that. alice, take a listen to republican minority leader kevin mccarthy pushing back against the new cdc guidance. >> the cdc has become a political arm of the administration who wants to control every element of our life. we will not allow the cdc to be political. we'll base decisions on science and we'll f

he made history as both the youngest and the oldest secretary of defense. and he did the bidding of for republican presidents in 1983 president ronald reagan sent rumsfeld to baghdad to try to broker closer ties with saddam hussein. but 2 decades later, it was defense secretary rumsfeld, who argued saddam had to go in rejecting the president's ultimatum. the iraqi regime had chosen war over peaceful design. and a us led war was the way to make that happen. he and other bush administration officials accused a rock of helping to plan the september 11th attacks, which it did not. rumsfeld also accused a rock possessing weapons of mass destruction, which did not. he was wrong, but rumsfeld refused to say so. we believe the intelligence was correct, it turns out that it was not completely correct. at 1st rumsfeld embraced the neo conservative idiology of exporting us style democracy and nation building. but it is 2013 memoir rumsfeld changed his tune. i did not think resolving other countries, internal political disputes, paving roads erecting power lines, polic

in addition to working satellites, the department of defense is tracking 27000 pieces of space junk. the junk poses huge risks to our assets in space. even the smallest pieces of orbital debris i've learned that even paint colors -- each collision creates even more debris so the problem that compounds on itself. more than just tracking and managing orbital debris, we must look for ways to prevent it in the first. place and for companies launching satellite and mega constellations to help with solutions to take out the trash and get rid of the junk. the innovation creating this problem is exciting but the government must take the lead on ssa, s tm and policy to prevent and remove orbital debris. the previous administration understood the importance of this a mission and how the changing nature of the spaceed industry necessitated moving some of this responsibility away from the department of defense. in 2018, the trump administration published space policy directive three to put the responsibility of fsa and sgm in the hands of the office of space commerce. congress appropriated funds

defense budget. why has the president done less than that in this budget when we had a bipartisan commission say that we need 3% to 5% real growth in defense spending every year while every other other than homeland, every other non-defense ariane creased by up to 16%? >> congressman, i think you have to look at the historical spending on a lot of the non-defense programs compared to defense. also, i appreciate the growth. there's an assumption that we don't have to look at outdated technology as defense reprioritizes measures on the other side of the ledger so we think there are efficiencies to be had in defense to also to the tune of over $700 billion still be the world power with regard to our military might. >> and on that note, how much of that $700 -- how much of the defense budget of the $753 billion, how much of that is actually spent on climate change, green fuels, things that don't build tapings, train people to drive tanks, won't build airplanes, don't refuel airplanes? they are not operat
