the u.s. a lot of grandstanding and maneuvering. in 1983, the soviet union misread u.s. intent. that is clear now. documents have been declassified even knowing that, it was evident that there was such international tension. when i went off to study russian, the encouragement of relatives and my family, thinking i might become an interpreter, maybe at one point i might be able to help in some way with negotiations. that was the atmosphere. we were going to blow ourselves up. i entered later into the administration, against the backdrop of russian reactions, a sophisticated operation that launched to turn our electoral system, that presidential campaign in 2016 on its head. i came out the other side of the time in the ministration and the government at the highest level seeing everything much more concerned about the u.s. in russia in the 1990's, there was a similar polarization. the collapse of the soviet union led to millions losing jobs overnight with very little prospect of a life ahead, be

, the flooding into the u.s. of japanese produced automobiles and semiconductors, while japan at the same time was dramatically limiting foreign market access to goods and services, with much of the rhetoric we see today related to china, one could simply substitute the word japan and substitute china and you'd find the sunday morning talk show topics of 1989 in 1990. but of course, there's one extraordinary distinction, democratic japan was, is, and continues to be our ally and partner. china, while collaborator in many things, description as partner and ally would not be accurate. could it be in the future? only time and the years ahead will tell. but this speaks to the balance that is outlined in today's discussion of degrees of separation. your framework is of assistance to the legislative branch and that it provides a rubric whereby our committees and our members can evaluate the best possible alternatives to achieving our u.s. objectives. in the context of this thoughtful framework, let me mention a few leg

the u.s. is leading nations to advocate for better secure supply chains. this overlays to the discussion today. i hope there will be many new countries for the cooperation on cybercrime and law enforcement collaboration. besides this important development, closer cooperation on cybersecurity of critical infrastructure between the eu and u.s. is very much needed now. i will concentrate on four possible dimensions of such collaboration. first is the eu and u.s. level. then the ce and u.s. level. then the collaboration level. last, multilateral. starting with the eu, the eu and u.s. have already spoken there position on the same special recognition of critical infrastructure and also the history of cybersecurity cooperation. this collaboration is not yet effective and practical. we need to develop systemic cooperation between eu countries within the u.s. government on this particular topic. maybe, development with ed fraud -- within fraud between the u.s., india, japan, and australia. these four

from the outside if you look at it from cuba which has the strange entangled with the u.s., the u.s. it's different than what many americans assume it looks like. this book is a history of cuba that also serves as a mirror into the united states that is the idea. >> i think it's part of the underlying theme of the book and a lot of ways. it also reclaims america for the americas. that's a good point of explaining in that introduction. which kind of brings me too my second question. repeatedly you'd write the history that we know. there is a shadow history a lot of us don't know. this was a pattern throughout the book sense the voices have not been heard there so many beautiful quotes i had to stop writing them down. early in the book is a history has lived in opposition far richer and more human than the mix. of course for many of us especially in miami, i want to talk particular it encapsulates the idea is the story what their names were i was not aware of it as a community largely free slaves who won their own freedom whole 100 years almost 100 years before it was abolished in cuba

the u.s. commitment and then if you factor in president connie's surprising's departure literally overnight after having assured u.s. officials he wasn't it for the long haul, that was sort of theoi last part. you have to recheck further to understand the dynamics that led to where we are today. >> the other question on the minds of a lot of americans, why was so much u.s. military equipment from communication to armoredpm equipment left behind. what was the thinking behind that? >> i think that's an easy explanationsy. u.s. military equipment for the u.s. we removed or demilitarized, made it inoperable.ad equipment the afghan nationals to get a forces equipment provided by the united states you might be thinking emission or guns or low level security force assistance was provided to the afghan military and m secury forces that was the property of government of afghanistan so that is a separate category. i dod empathize there's not advanceded equipment in the latr category. what americans thin

the u.s. is also building a coalition of nations to advocate for technology and to better secure supply chains. it is over this discussion we are having today. and there will be -- and i hope that there will be many eu countries in this cooperation on cyber crime and law enforcement collaboration. despite this important and good development, the cooperation on cybersecurity is such that [inaudible] and the u.s. is very much now. i will concentrate on for possible dimensions of such collaboration. the first is au, u.s., private sector collaboration level. and last but not least, made a level. the u.s. has [inaudible] recognition and they also have history of cybersecurity. and this collaboration is not practical. we need, as much as possible, to develop cooperation between eu and u.s. countries. as an example, the development could gather comprehensive u.s. media, and australia. building a long-standing collaboration on cybersecurity allowing new efforts to -- the resilience again cyber threats

in the u.s. and parts o of europe including germany and the u uk. they cite faltering economic growth and a steep rise of energy crisis. how valid are these concerns? >> let's first look at what our estimates are in our projections are. our projections as global growth to be 5.9 to conduct a 4.9 next year. specifically for the area of 5% this year end 4.3% next year. this is nowhere near stagnation in any form or shape intergroup focus. there are risks. the risks because of the breakdown in the supply chain because the risingg commodity prices both of those contribute to shortages and because of the shortages they are producing less and we see thosep show up for instance in germany one of the reasons for the downgrade is because of that. whole-wheat about this is complicates policymaking. you have for it. here it's more complicated you have more supply which iss producing activity at the same time inflation. in terms of the overall picture. >> for the next question will turn to of hong kong who a

in the u.s., some sectors are having troubles hiring. manufacturing other goods remain very strong during the pandemic, we see now that it's very difficult to hire for many of those companies, it has become a scavenger hunt economy type of dynamic where you want to get people, the materials and the challenges could last for a while. kathleen: i think i will quote you on that. it makes me think of a couple of things. that can create more inflation. higher wages. yet to pay them more for the goods you need to put into production but at the same time, and many ways, jobless claims keep coming down. you got manufacturing pmi's still almost at 60. how can you talk about stagflation in a situation like that? guest: we are not talking about stagflation. what we do see is that inflation will go higher in q4, we are expecting a an average of five point 4 -- 5%. the real challenge will be around the believability that this is transitory because we haven't hit the peak levels for uscp i yet. for the job mar

way, the u.s. has a huge advantage in that those capabilities are not just ours, back to aukus, they're about what the united states can bring as a global power and with a lot of other countries who are increasingly concerned about what china is trying to do. our goal is not to have any conflict, armed conflict work china. it is to reduce tension and demonstrate a credible deterrent so they are not tempted with this rhetoric and this capability to overreach. nina: on the same program a few weeks ago, i interviewed senator duckworth and i encourage our audience to watch it, she went into a lot of this military and intelligence strategy and exactly what we're talking about. one of the things she raised concerns about was a potential invasion of taiwan given the chip technology there. how concerned are you? kathleen: it's something we watch very carefully if you're out at the indo-pacific command in hawaii, watching it day-to-day, we have a significant amount of capability forward in the region to tam

the u.s. and china. and followed the evolution of that engagement up through the present and, basically, the goal there was to understand the rational for engagement, so the u.s. wasn't engaging with china as pure benevolence, but a way of advancing u.s. objectives and we see an evolution over time of how those objectives were geo strategic initially, but how the economic objectives really became more prominent as that relationship evolved and then began to include things like global public goods and global norms as china became a much more important player on the global stage. so we took that historical framing and that historical understanding of how u.s. objectives are impacted by u.s.-china engagements and we brought it forward to the present and have used it in our frame work to evaluate both u.s. objectives and whether or not u.s.-china engagement in specific activities advances or hinders achievements of those objectives. so that's really the core of the framework. there are four distin

i think the u.s. will be impacted by the global energy crunch but the u.s. will not have extra gas to ship from plants. everyone is competing for gas cargoes. if it gets cold, prices could keep rising. one figure that is frightening is the reason prices we have seen in europe and asia translate to oil equipment making it almost $200 a barrel and that tells you how tight this gas market is coming. francine: thank you so much, will kennedy, executive director for energy and commodities. coming up, australia looks forward to more opening. we have all of the details on inner -- on international travel. this is bloomberg. ♪ francine: welcome back to the open. 42 minutes into the european trading day and we are still in the red but less then we were 10 minutes to go. only down 0.8%. the focus is on politics, energy in china and the supply chain issues. and climate change. john kerry -- he spoke to me for a special on leaders with lacqua. >> i think the business world is , at large, for the most part beginning to really sit down and grapple with the things that w

i think the u.s. is in a tough position. both sides are. the relations are at a low point. there has been discussion of potential buying, but it has been high levels of issues of climate change. there is no indication of any substantive concessions on anything substantial. i think the u.s. is in a tough position. both sides have a lot of domestic pressure. with respect to the trade announcements, that is not that surprising. the trade war is not working from the u.s. perspective. janet yellen said as much. the decoupling is not happening. the u.s. is investing even more in china than in the past. there is some discussion with the ambassador saying we will talk about re-coupling. it was interesting, jake sullivan's conversations out of zurich, talking about a more responsible than strategic competition. i think the u.s. in particular recognizes they should be making moves to at least sure up the relations from the point where they have been, but both sides face significant domestic pressure, especially

that's undermined, weakened the credibility of the u.s. how do you see that right now because it's a source of concern that they are trying desperately to repair? >> yes, and i think the difference with this white house than what the countries had to dole with with trump is long-term reliability. there are going to be blips. the france-u.s. relationship is not going to dissipate over a single deal. even the sort of legacy of the afghanistan withdrawal is not a huge focus going on right now, and i think what you're seeing is there are going to be continuing disagreements about priorities around not just afghanistan or a submarine deal but also remember iran which it looks like we'll have to get some agreement around sanctions if the united states is not going to rejoin a sort of unified effort, and so threats rifts are understandable given the priorities but the long-term ease and calmness of the g-20 cannot be underestimated. remember, two or three years ago, each of these ended up being, you know, like the real housewives of the g-20. it'

u.s., is good for the security of the u.s.. if you strengthen one pillar in an alliance, the european pillar , you strengthen the whole alliance. we have seen things going together. alix: it is alix steel in new york. thank you for joining us. how does that work if europe is not aligned on all of the issues? i'm thinking specifically energy. germany is dependent on russia for a lot of gas. france gets some gas from russia but is mostly focused on nuclear, whereas you have hungry blaming the eu green deal for the crisis. how do you fix that? amb. etienne: it is true that we have different energy mixes. you have called the different positions. we have a strong eu policy on climate transition. the european union is a world leader in terms of reduction of emissions against the climate change. the european union through the years has developed keeping some differences, even in domestic between its member states. look at france and germany. i was the ambassador in berlin. i can tell you that the franco german cooperation, which is on

anybody outside the u.s. who held dollars could come to washington and come to fort knox and they would want gold for their dollars. that was a cornerstone of the prosperity that ensued during the 50s and 60s. the miraculous recovery of western europe and japan, the almost unprecedented prosperity in the u.s. which was a different kind of prosperity then we have known because it was a middle-class prosperity. it was growth the basically spread throughout the country. we didn't have the extremes of wealth and income that we have today. so it's a real question. if it succeeded so well why did nixon and his at visors decide to take the dollar from gold or put another way why did they take a sledgehammer to the agreement and that's the story that i told and i think what they did has had reverberations right through today. >> we will get into some of those reverberations. the important thing for our audience and for people looking at the book is the description of the characters that evolved. you have john connoll

who, the u.s. and some other government, and this is the position of the who currently as well, we don't have the evidence that they can assess it, so given that from a matter of policy we should proceed, we should be worried about animal to human transition and when-- we should be worried about a lab leak in the future and so if we don't have enough evidence, you have to prepare for both eventualities because they are both probable from a public policy perspective. it is a possible period, but we just have it-- the experts have not seen the necessary information to make-- two dry conclusion i. >> it strikes me that you know if there were a lab leak china would be incentivized to cover it up and a lot of people would deduce maybe incorrectly that the likelihood is that if china incorporates with the who another investigation i mean is there any-- which therefore makes this a pretty irrational act on china's part, a self-defeating one, is there a sign that china acknowledges that it might be learnin

the u.s. economy. will that be enough to lift the fog of uncertainty that is plaguing markets? late yesterday, the market is keeping an intense mood, and numbers today might help give us a rally in the equities market. what we really need for the rally to gain a stronger footing is a sense that inflation is getting under control through the narrative of the fed, and indications that supply chain pressures are easing. we need time, and we are far from pressures easing. tesla talking about the continued supply chain issue that is not allowing them to meet demands. we will have the job numbers today that give us a sense of direction of a fed taper in november. let's see how we are looking today. that fog of uncertainty means we can push slightly higher when it comes to the asian trading session. we will talk to juliette saly about that. up 0.3% on the asia index. s&p futures flat to unchanged. not a lot to trade on until the jobs numbers. the 10 year yield marches higher. we are near 1.6%. finall

to work without the u.s. having, if you will, boots on the ground or even lift involved directly in that process. nina: great. ok. we'll leave afghanistan now. what -- let's talk about very broadly -- what's your personal role in nuclear modernization at the pentagon? secretary hicks: sure. well, as i said before, as the c.o.o., it's really about connecting the objectives to the resources. in the case of nuclear modernization, those resources take the form of our nuclear command and control enterprise, the cyber and space-related aspects of the security of our nuclear -- strategic nuclear deterrent. and then, what are those actual programs that we have for nuclear deterrence? so in that regard, i am assisting the secretary and, again, the president has a nuclear posture review under way now that's up at the white house level. so i'm assisting the secretary in looking at that. particularly that back end piece with nuclear policy being made from the white house, what are the implications of that policy for how

on the u.s. capitol, but certainly, some employees began to push back. facebook, they suggested was culpable. one writing in an internal facebook company chat, all due respect but haven't we had enough time to manage discourse without enabling violence. we've been fuelling this fire for a long time and we shouldn't be surprised it's now out of control. another wrote they were tired of the leadership. there were dozensen stop the steal groups. stop the steal, the conspiracy movement that helped fuel the insurrection had been on facebook for months. how did you guys hear about this event today? >> through facebook. >> reporter: facebook events instagram? how you have been promoting it? >> well, i created a facebook event for yesterday's event pipe posted after the fact that we will again be coming today. i will be again making another event with regards to tomorrow. >> facebook providing the fundamental coordinating structure. they were sharing ridesharing information. they were sharing resources.

the u.s. and europe may be going in somewhat different directions. could be a tri-color world in which more will happen regionally instead of globally. >> how many of us, be honest, how many of us were surprised that some of these ports weren't operating 24 hours a day anyway? >> right. >> i assure you the gulf in china are not working shorter hours and they're related to this. how many of us are surprised this is a three-month agreement? this is not like we're going to fundamentally change the way this megaport that is essential to the u.s. economy. and those are the sort of things i can hear some viewers saying, well, it's this, that and the other the reasons. but these are the reasons buttigieg is talking about. these are the reasons that need to change. the systemic post-pandemic crisis that we're now discovering its shortfalls. >> americans are seeing inflation just about anywhere. gas, used cars, bacon, beef, eggs, tvs, kids' shoes. prices are not going to go down any time soon. how long

but even here in the u.s.-- we look at the u.s. military. we put in a billion dollars every year to make sure there is a quality, reliable child care system in place for our service members. maybe there are some answers in there for us. but right now, the big question is, it's broken. how do we fix it? >> woodruff: and i remember what a great series it was last smer. i am so looking forward to tonight. thank you, amna nawaz. thank you, cat wise. and i also want to thank the producers who worked with both of you, rachel wellford and gretchen frazee. and you can watch "raising the future: the child care crisis." that's tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern, 9:00 central on your local pbs station. and in a relate stoyr, on the newshour online, experts say bias against those caring for family members is a powerful driver of discrimination in the work force. and, while the pandemic and resulting child care gaps have received more attention, are these workers any better o now? we explore that question on our website, www.pbs.org/newshour. and that's the n
