amb. chacon: i have a superteam. i'm there he proud of them. christopher: ambassador hillman, let me turn to you for your perspective on this and for the canadian outlook on the roadmap and where we are headed. amb. hillman: thank you very much. great to see you on the screen. i am really happy to join you. i will try and go over the some of this in a way that i think the ambassador has covered a lot of important elements of the roadmap and the things we are doing together. i will try and add some different elements there. i think to start with, talking a little bit about what the document is, because i don't know how many of your participants in this session are familiar with the traditional leaders statement or joint statements that come out of meetings that leaders have, with the bilaterally or in groups. but for those of you, you know, who are looking into this kind of thing on a regular basis, you know that generally speaking they are short, one page maybe, maybe less, to be two pages

amb. barshefsky: it's a pleasure to be here and to put a plug-in for jonathan's new book, it is terrific. the topics we will be discussing during this hour, congratulations on that. let me say as a scene setter, the u.s. has long supported international development, including the development of infrastructure, starting with the marshall plan, with which you are all familiar. it's a lot of money, but a tiny percentage of our budget, which is unfortunate. what we see generally is in specific projects like power africa and so on, when u.s. money goes in, it is a force multiplier. private capital will often follow. as will capital from other countries. i think the u.s. population generally continues to support infrastructure assistance and humanitarian bases. there are five things that have happened that have challenged what have traditionally been leadership in this area, certainly leadership in the west. first is the global need for infrastructure is astonishingly high. it is estimated in th

amb. barshefsky: sorry about that. you would think i would remember. the ict sector, digital sector, is obviously critical, the backbone of industry, the backbone of services. it is what creates bid flows, data flows, the backbone of artificial intelligence premise that these systems writ large are crucial. you don't have a future economy if you don't have sufficiently sophisticated infrastructure with respect to the digital economy. the u.s. obviously has a competitive advantage with respect to it, but we don't offer a full suite of services. we don't offer a full suite of hardware. we don't offer a full suite of software. so those issues, which i think are important to the build back better and other programs, need to be resolved. i mention i would have loved to see vaccines more robustly coming out of build back better, and also the announcement of a business consortium between major u.s., japanese, and european companies who had devised a turnkey project to rollout on digital infrastructure, because no government is building this stuff, so that wou

the brothers said every day wewd pe the statue serves as amb of . a space rivalry is heating up. richard branson says he'll flyio fly on his spacecraft on the 20th. he said wally funk will join him. now 82, guess what, she's going to space. how about that? coming up next, a remarkable career change. he traded a mop for a cap and gown and a dream job. >> o'donnell: okay, it is never too late to get a fresh start. cbs' mark strassmann has a lesson in following your dreams. eporter:ool cuodian tylan bailey has polished these floors the last 23 years. now, it's his turn to shine. >> i want to pursue my dream of being a teacher. >> reporter: your dream was to classroom. >> reporter: with only a high school degree and about to turn 40, he enrolled at georgia state with students half his age. did that hit you? >> i would hear their conversations like, yeah, that's-- that's not what i talk about ( laughs ). >> reporter: tylan worked days at hightower elementary and at hightower elementary and ights on his homework next to his own four kid. in may, he graduated from college in three and a

amb. greenfield: it's a moment for millions of syrians who will not have to worry about starving to death in the coming weeks. it's important that the united states and russia were able to come together on a humanitarian initiative that serves the interest of the syrian people. nick: but humanitarian aid groups say authorizing a single aid crossing is not enough to meet the vast need, and russia's blocking another proposal that would have re-opened a second crossing, shows disregard for syrian lives. today, human rights watch said "russia has successfully blackmailed the international community," and amnesty international accused russia of "playing political games with the lives and welfare of millions of people." idlib is the final stronghold of the syrian opposition. humanitari workers in syria accuse russia and the syrian government of using humanitarian need for political gain. >> as aid workers, we demand the international community separate human rights work from politics, and to avo

and we had magnet schools and that is good for the student, but worse because it funnels all of the amb students out of public school into the magnet schools. when i was in south carolina, it became very segregated. we tried to take as many minorities -- there was a 30 mile difference in where the high school was in the charter school was off of i 20. i wish they would be more honest and let people know that you have the students pay for everyone -- everything they do. if you are not a wealthy family in these charter schools, you are going to miss out on everything from art and raising the salaries, we did a good job of that. fox creek high school is probably one of the best high school charter schools in the nation. guest: i look forward to visiting that school. if you're getting limited dell, especially in states where the allocation at the district level is low, you will have to make concessions and unfortunately, a lot of things are thing's that go by the wayside. this is partially why a lot of charter schools have the raise money and they are part instructional leader and part inst
