europe has virtually no meaningful military force to introduce in this part of the world and europe largely sees asia and particularly china through the eyes of economic and commercial ties. i think we're going to run into real problems trying to line the europeans up it work with us. losing my voice here fareed, sorry. >> no worries. anne-marie, what about richard point, particularly in light of merkel leaving after 16 years in germany. the europeans don't have the capacity to pro correct any kind of military force without american help. and they don't seem that interested in having a kind of larger world role. they're largely internally eu focused. is it a fool's errand to try to get europe to play a larger strategic role? >> no, as i just said, the french after the united states have the largest naval experience in the south pacific. if we were going to make a deal with australia and britain, yes, i understand that we had better technology, but we should have included the french in thinking about the south pacific as a strategic arena and the british, particularly now that they're not in

we'd actually have kind of a natural gas marshall plan for europe. we in america would build a set of l&g export terminals to export our national gas. we're the saudi arabia of natural gas. we're more than saudi arabia of natural gas, we have 100 years of supply. but if you can't liquify it, you can't export it. and then we partner with europeans and build terminals over there and then you have a long-term plan to counterbalance the influence of russia. >> so play out some of the other political consequences of this energy crunch and energy crisis. clearly russia gets empowered. what else happens? >> another thing i think people aren't paying attention to, and you've had this on the show before, which is iran is getting closer and closer to developing enough fissile material now to build one nuclear bomb. if you listen to americans, security officials and israeli security officials, they've been telling us we're not going to let that happen. we're not going to let iran get that close. they're getting that close. if they're considering some kind of ki

known as europe's last dictator. scornful of western media, it's rare for him to sit down with a foreign journalist, but cnn's matthew chance managed to get this exclusive an contentious interview. listen. >> this is what the brutal crackdown in belarus looks like. detained then beaten by police. after disputed elections last year, the mass protests that followed were crushed. human rights groups called it a catastrophe. now, they're confronting europe's last dictator. would you take this opportunity now to apologize to the people of belarus for the human rights abuses they've suffered at your hands? >> translator: no, i would not like to take this opportunity. i don't think this is even a relevant question and in principle, i have nothing to apologize for. >> you say you've got nothing to apologize for, but human rights watch says multiple detainees have reported broken bones, broken teeth, brain injuries, skin wounds, electrical burns. amnesty international speaks of detention centers becoming torture chambers wher

natural gas prices in europe have risen a staggering amount, nearly 500%. in asia, bloomberg reports that power companies are buying liquefied natural gas at record prices to try to lock in supply. in europe a mass producer of fertilizer was already forced to temporarily shut down two uk plants due to high energy costs, and there are fears other industries will follow. the u.s. energy information administration has put out a report warning americans that they are likely to pay significantly more to stay warm this winter, especially if temperatures drop substantially. why is this happening? the simplest explanation is the demand for energy is currently exceeding supply, which makes prices rise. the reasons for this miss match are many, including extreme and unpredictable weather, as well as bad government decisions about storage, reserves or transmission lines. but there is one common cause -- much of the world has stopped investing in fossil fuels for good reasons. which has led to less supply of them. but we do not have sufficient green energy today to rep

we're going to have more on biden's visit here to europe in a moment. erica? >> first, more on why that trip has been delayed now this morning as you pointed out, jim. before president biden leaves for europe, he's making a detour to capitol hill where he'll meet with the house democratic caucus reportedly in an effort to try to convince progressives to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill that they have been using as leverage to advance the social spending bill. sources telling cnn that the president plans to use this meeting to lay out some of the long awaited details of this $1.75 trillion economic and climate package. now, whether the president can ultimately convince lawmakers to get on board, that still remains to be seen. this after another progressive priority, paid family leave, already slashed from 12 weeks to four, now appears to have been sacrificed altogether and another compromise to moderate west virginia senator joe manchin. >> to expand social programs when you have trust funds that aren't solvent, going insolvent, i can't explain that. it

well, there are pockets of resistance across parts of europe. there are high levels of vaccine uptick in most countries in western europe and we have seen that. but in recent days, we've seen protests in italy and switzerland as woeell over the measures being taken to really nurnl encourage people to get that jab. what that entails in italy, the green pass, people will have to provide proof of getting the vaccination or getting that infection recently, recovering from that, or indeed getting a negative test within the last 48 hours. and those who don't comply with that green pass could face getting a fine of up to $1,075. and those in switzerland putting in a restriction for those who don't comply of going to restaurants and bars and clubs. but just last year, polls reflected that many people were not keen to get that jab. and president macron announced that there would be the health pass, we saw that vaccine uptick surge. so there is a example of these kind of measures encourage people to go out asand get that vaccine. >> it seems universal tha

and how negotiations might go. >> well, these relationships with europe are absolutely vital, because the u.s. does not have a very good relationship with iran at all. it is absolutely rock bottom. and particularly hardliners in charge of iran, this is going to make things much more difficult. and france has been able to have some sort of relationship with iran so they are key to me somehow trying to return to the deal but i would also agree with what has already been said. i think before we get to any cooperation, we're actually going to see more sanctions deployed. and that's because the hardliners in iran seem not open stall to having any kind of deal. so it may be that things get worse whether they get better. >> my colleague jim sciutto pointed out that there are two key figures that are quote/unquote phoning it in. not in rome and in person, china's xi jinping and vladimir putin of russia. they will be attending virtually. i'm wondering how you think that might impact the effectiveness of the summit. >> this is actually a really big problem, though it does give biden an opportun

therefore, europe is not as heavily reliant on turkey when it comes to the economy as turkey is on europe. and against that backdrop, also worth mentioning the turkish economy has been struggling for quite sometime now. so should europe choose to do so, it does have a number of other potential pressure points that it can try to put on turkey. that being said, this ongoing back and forth over the detention of oswan kavala has been going on a number of time with countries calling for his release, with this fairly unprecedented it must be said statement that was signed by the ten countries asking for his release, asking for the decision that was taken by the european court for human rights to be upheld. that was a decision that called for kavala's immediate release. and turkey being a member of the european counsel is, in theory, supposed to uphold that decision. a lot of human rights organizations, outside observers, analysts are calling this a political move to try to continue to tamp down on voices of opposition and dissent throughout turkey. kavala is hardly the first person who has spok

he himself predicted in 1990 as the cold war ended, nato would collapse and europe would become a cockpit of warring states as it had been before the cold war. he believed many european states, chiefly germany, would likely acquire nuclear weapons. none of these predictions have come to pass. in fact, the european union has grown tighter and stronger in the decades after the cold war, and they remain nonnuclear. i raise this to make the point, mishhimer looked at only one of the great forces that motivates states in the international system, power politics. but there are other like economic interdependence. the world today thoroughly enmeshed with a complex global economic system where war would hurt the aggressor nearly as much as the victim. there have been almost no land grabs since 1945, the most notable exception being russia's annexation of crimea in 2014. this amounts to an almost unprecedented disrespect for borders. in addition, nuclear deterrence has raised the stakes, making countries far more cautious about launching a great power war. the task of american foreign policy is to

there are concerns from governments across the continent that health care sectors in europe could be put under renewed pressure come winter. countries like italy, switzerland, france introducing tougher measures, vaccine passes allowing people to prove that they've had either a full jab or have recently recovered from coronavirus, or even have taken and received a negative test in the last 48 hours. this is all part of efforts to really control the spread of the virus, to stem the spread of the virus, and prevent the health care sector and the country from falling under the pressures we've seen in the last few months of this pandemic. >> unfortunately, especially with the delta variant, even if a small portion of the population isn't vaccinated, it can overwhelm the hospitals. >>> a texas police officer is dead after officials say three deputies were totally ambushed outside a bar in texas. the hunt is on for the gunman behind the attack. when you need it most. it's non habit forming and powered by the makers of nyquil. new zzzquil ultra. when you really really need to sleep. use a s

solar winds breach, they are still going after governmental and nongovernmental organizations, both in europe and in the united states. and then just last week, we heard from a top cybersecurity official at the national security agency saying that they are seeing evidence that russians are prepositioning themselves to breach critical u.s. infrastructure and that is the major concern and, you know, we have seen breaches against critical infrastructure earlier this year. and that was the big warning that biden gave to putin back in june, don't go after u.s. critical infrastructure. but as i said, so far, they appear to be unfazed. erica and jim? >> alex mar qquardtmarquardt, a it, thank you. >>> significant developments in the search for brian laundrie. police finding new clues. could this show where he may be hiding out and what gabby petito's family is saying about the investigation next. trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high you know how i feel ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel ♪ [man: coughing] ♪ it's a new dawn, it's a new day... ♪ no matter how you got copd it's ti

we as europe cannot allow belarus to do something like this. from point of view, we could also involve russia. all diplomatic channels should be used. few believe solutions will come quickly. folks at the refugee center said they are preparing for more arrivals and are already clearing additional space. >> want to bring in fred pleitgen who joins me in london. fred, let's talk more about the politics in this. he stated in the piece and hinted at, the eu clearly feels lukashenko is using refugees as pressure on the eu countries. what can the eu actually do here? >> reporter: i think the eu is exploring several things. first you have poland at the border as the eu nation at the border with belarus. they said they're going to continue their hard line. they're going to continue to keep their border hermetically sealed as they put it and they are going to build a border wall. that's also caused big criticism within the european union. one of the things that some of the refugees have told us, and some eu officials say as well, the poles are apparentl

i think one of the reasons frankly in addition to sending the president off to europe with these bills in hand so he could go to the climate conference with them, i think that speaker pelosi probably also wanted to give a hand to mcauliffe on this. but as for should he have been able to win without it, this was going to be a tough race from the beginning, and youngkin has proven an elusive target. he was endorsed by trump, won the primary, and then has kept his distance from trump while invoking some of the cultural warrior themes of trump to try and energize the trump base. and he's been pretty artful. you know, it's like mr. -- >> absolutely. >> it's like mister rogers and dr. trump. it's quite a story. >> in a fleece vest. >> yes. the democrats would describe him as a wolf in sheep's clothing there. >> yeah. >> but i do think that this -- you know, that is the reason this race is close, and it is going to be, as you describe it, a turnout question and, you know, in every poll we've seen, republican enthusiasm has been greater than democratic enthusiasm. mcauliffe is going to go into

d-614 that swept across asia and europe and the united states. killed hundreds of thousands of people. replaced by the alpha variant. then replaced by the delta variant which is particularly contagious. the delta variant''s contagious approaches the chicken pox. i can't imagine one much more transmissible than the delta variant. >> you're on the fda vaccine's advisory committee. i want to ask about this mixing and matching booster doses issue. somebody gets a -- two pfizers and then a moderna for their booster or whatever. if you had to vote on mixing and matching booster doses today, would you vote yes? >> again, it all depends on the data. you want robust data so people can feel comfortable if you get a johnson & johnson vaccine and boost with an mrna-containing vaccine that you have clearly evidence of a higher neutralizing antibody titer, et cetera. those studies are currently being done. i hope we can get them in hand soon because i think the public really needs direction on how to proceed here. >> the fda should rule on the moderna and john
