riley thank you america jobs plan b. the biggest increase in non-defense research and development on record will see more technological change and some of you know more about this than i do we'll see more technological change in next 10 years and we saw in the last 50 that's how rapidly artificial intelligence and so much more is changing and we're falling behind the competition with the rest of the world decades ago we used to invest 2 percent of our gross domestic product in america 2 percent of our gross domestic product research and development today mr secretary that's less than one percent china and other countries are closing in fast. we have to develop and dominate the products and technologies in the future advance batteries biotechnology computer chips clean energy the sector's events can tell you and those you are working nasa security issues now the defense department has an agency called darpa the defense advanced research projects agency that people who set up before i came here and that's been a long time

foreign policy toward latin america but when you compare that to looking at china. russia europe asia latin america always comes out to be the sort of orphan in those subjects the one dealt with the last and so i guess my question is given the legacy of american foreign policy in the region that has not put latin america 1st and foremost you know and you've talked about root causes a bit how do we have to square that and bring that around given the fact that we've never really been that good at latin american foreign policy. a very good point steve in foreign policy cycles among scolar solving international relations international politics one of the saying cease you know latin america is traditionally perceived us as the bought yard of the united states and that's not the only reason why the u.s. you know considers it of secondary importance the key issue is we don't have nukes so if any of the countries in the region had nukes or states us in policy making cycles in washington we would go out i don't know if i would subscribe to then you know counseling any leader

you know they they know how diverse that that society is in america so. regardless of what the chinese propaganda is i think there's a much a much more. individualistic reaction to what was going on in the states having said that people are really puzzled because for a lot of chinese. they actually admire american society and there are many many mysteries that have been thrown up this year that are hard to explain like how can such a rich country do such a bad job of disease control and public health as in the states in the staggering numbers of deaths and you know new cases of covert 1000 every day are just mind boggling to the average chinese and you know i live in beijing you know there are maybe a few dozen new cases of covert 19. today compared to yesterday but they're very aggressively addressed you know massive testing contact tracing everyone's got a an app on their mobile phone and they you know whenever you go into a restaurant or a shopping center you have to car register on your app that you're there and show people that you've got a green. a

so america is on the move again and that is the masses that the u.s. president joe biden just delivered to congress his 1st address to congress on the eve of his 100th day in office suite how did the country's recovery in that time despite facing the pandemic and the severe economic as well as political crises and he also did lay out parts of his american families plan that's a roughly $1.00 trillion dollar legislative proposal to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in priorities like education childcare and paid leave all of which he spoke about the president was speaking just over an hour and that is his wife the 1st lady joe biden on your screens right now let's bring in our white house correspondent kelly halkett she's standing by for us in capitol hill where biden is right now kimberly so a lot to unpack let's talk about the key takeaway messages. well i think the 1st thing that we need to note about this is that this speech was historic in nature but it was also very heartfelt in its delivery the fact that the u.s. president started out his sp

will america be with these nations in their dark days? is the big question and i guess i'd like to ask you, i know you're an american, you worked for the federal government, but wouldn't you doubt america? after what we have just gone through, well look, i can, i can only speak from my personal perspective. i am, i'm very convinced by present biden's message that we are at the united states of america is back. because it's not driven by politics. this is not an optics thing. this isn't about winning an election. the election is over, it's one and it's done. this is about the american national interest. and if you, if you read the critical documents that administration has put out, including the interim national security strategic guidance, which is essentially a national security strategy in miniature. the administration very clearly puts the importance of the central relationships in terms of benefits to the united states. i mean, it is, they felt interested approach and that should be reassuring because it is precisely that self interes

this is so a wrench 2.5 a 1000000 a years ago mostly in the west of north america and knowing this tossed the animals likely metabolism life expectancy and body size scientists were able to come up with the ballpark figure they believe that at any given time there were 20 affair isn't zzz around a serious rex's on the planet's well from the pandemic to america's racial reckoning 2020 was a momentous year photographers and storytellers it documented some of the most striking images of the past 12 months have been on the world press photo contest this force a graph showing a nurse embracing a care home residents from brazil was selected as force a graph of the year was taken by photographer months nissen. my. this is out of syria these are the headlines officials have released body can finish of a chicago police officer fatally shooting a 13 year old boy last month at an salita appeared to raise his hands just before shots were foreigners there are multiple casualties after a shooting in the u.s. city of indianapolis it happened at a fed ex facility so far 8 people are confirmed dead police

so what $911.00 do to america and can america reinvent itself so that it's not chasing ghosts forever? today we're talking with political scientists and journalists, david roth cop, the former editor in chief of foreign policy magazine, and host of deep state radio, a podcast on american power, and it's global impact. he's the author of running the world, be inside story of national security council and the architect of american power. previously, he managed the international advisory firm, a former secretary of state, henry kissinger. and now he has his own, the rock cock group. david, it's great to be with you, and thanks for joining us today. this is a somber time, a moment to sort of reflect on 20 years after one of the most major attacks on the american psyche. let's play a clip from president george w bush on what he said right after 911. the attack took place on american soil. but it was an attack on the heart and soul of the civilized world. and the world has come together to fight a new indifferent war. the 1st, we hope, the only one of the 21st century or against all those w

they tell every insane killer in america. that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum am with minimum risk. however nation's priorities gotten so far out of order. the side is populated. by an unknown number of genuine monsters. people that are so doraine so evil so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can ever possibly comprehend. when we're not here to the press conference i thought they're going to come out and say this is a mental health problem and the n.r.a. recognizes that and we are going to put in $100000000.00 into mental health research and supporting mental health services so the wrong people don't carry guns . we need to have every single. school in america immediately deploy a protection program proven to work and by that i mean armed security more guns more guns more guns ching ching ching ching ching sick because sick is not it is so sick. because people are dying. and already reacts to criticism by trying to generate positive stories about come under should it till one nation

top diplomat had to central america to address apply to migrants. having no, i know a large contain the ship, the caught fire off the shrunken coast is now thinking several 100 tons of oil are in its fuel tanks. preparations are being made to tow the vessel in deep water before it sinks completely. it's already cause the country's worst ever maritime environmental disaster. the ship was transporting a cargo of chemicals and plastics. fernandez has the license from colombo, where essentially hearing that the salvage company that has been brought in by the ship owner was basically getting the logistics organized to try and tool that ship further into deeper sees. but obviously that logistical issues, the issues of the structure of that vessel. i spoke to the navy spokesman this morning. he said that navy personnel, especially train personnel, had assisted the salvages board the vessel this morning. obviously, it's a dangerous smoking wreck and that they had helped hook it up in order to facilitate it being pulled away. but having said that, obviously

so is america? democracy is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. and wanted to make sure that my daughter would become a citizen of a democracy who is really engaged and not taking that democracy for granted. ah. with democracy in the ideal should definitely be one person when both in a simple way democracy is self governing. right? people choosing their own leaders, people being able to govern themselves. but we're finding out that democracy requires the quality ah, with the development of technology in the development of a global system, it's becoming clear how unequal we are and how far we are from the values that we claim to have with. it's important to think about when we set that intention, right when we called our son democracy. and i think we spend the rest of our existence of the country a trying to get there with yes that, that, that i have spent a lot of time thinking and writing about the into war period in europe. i never imagined that setting the i

place in the world what do you think we do at this moment when america has been one of the places in the world to kind of guide and tell other countries how to manage their democracies jeanne shaheen last night was talking about trying to encourage the former president of georgia to step down at the end of his term along with senator jim risch it was a bipartisan effort to say you know the peaceful transfer of power is part of democracies what story does america have to tell now that's a great question to be honest with you i think it's going to take us some time to repair this i think the country that been the world. looked at america yesterday and saw what they usually see when we look over at faraway places and see people storming government buildings and wonder why these people can't get their act together and why there's such social disorder and wonder how the rule of law has broken down and you're right america does lead by example in many ways and so the 1st thing is we've got to make sure that we have a smooth inauguration on january 20th that joe biden problem here is are in

america's house was on fire. we had to act. more about this in this is a doozy of a live from doha also coming up there's little comforts makeshift medical facilities as india tries to overcome oxygen and vaccine shortages in a coronavirus crisis. trying to turn the tide on tax reform colombia's government faces public rebellion over controversial proposals. and a core part of china's space station plans as launched into orbit. blueprint to build america that's what u.s. president joe biden has presented to congress on the eve of his 100th day in office and a wide ranging speech biden says he's turning peril into possibility after the devastation of the coronavirus pandemic saying america is back on the rise he's laid out plans to fix a shoes including trillions of dollars in investment in jobs infrastructure an education. 100 days since i took the oath of office and left in my hand off our family bible and heritage nation we all did it was in crisis the worst pandemic of the century the worst economic crisis since the great de

this is al jazeera these are the top stories countries across latin america are rushing in restrictions as they battle to contain coronavirus outbreaks the problems are being compounded by a slow vaccine rollouts and weak health systems brazil has been easing its restrictions despite being the worst affected country in the region. the irish prime minister's want to get spiral back after 14 police officers were injured in the latest night of clashes in belfast in northern ireland protesters threw petrol bombs and rammed a burning car into a police vehicle there's anger over bricks it among other grievances to. the funeral of prince philip will take place on april the 17th the event at windsor castle just west of london will be a relatively low key affair military tributes were paid to the husband of queen elizabeth who died on friday at the age of $99.00. people will be going to the polls in chad in the coming hours to elect a president to the incumbent interest debbi is seeking a 6th term well most members of the opposition are boycotting the vote. 5 people have been killed and 2 pollin

and so, so part of this is just america bank, part of this is just see the challenge of change america. think about america went into world war 2, demilitarised. bulgarian portugal have bigger armies. within 3 years we had 15000000 men and women in uniform. we had individual factories in detroit that made more tanks and the entire german reich. for every 5 pounds of equipment the japanese got per capita to a frontline soldier, we got 2 tons and across 13000 kilometers of open ocean, an american merge from the war with the rest of the world prostrate. right? and so in $945.00 we made now $46.00. once we went back and automated the old manufacturing, we made 95 percent of the world's automobiles. and so, with that kind of ascendency came in, it inevitably, a certain amount of pride and hubris. and it's difficult to back off from think of the british empire. it's surprising to remember that the british empire actually reached its greatest geographical extent as late as 935. well, of course, now we know that that empire was in, in retreat if you will, by the diamonds you believe was certai

so what's the bottom line angle america really mattered for the west, but now she's history. america. tripped and stepped back from its leadership role in the world. and germany stepped in france as a manual macro stepped up later. but it's clear that the world's leading democracies are just less compelling than they once were. medical successor may really prove to be a strong force in the world. we hope. so. macros is up for election next year, and we're going to see if he remains, or if he's replaced by someone who's inward looking. what is clear, is it liberalism as a political ethic? when that means human rights and civic justice, liberty freedom are more fragile in the west. now, more than they've been in decades to preserve democracy's an liberalism, these nations are going to need to generate more angle of miracles. but let's be honest, that's really hard to do. and that's the bottom line. ah, i'm certainly saying without you business class, which way your privacy is paramount. and your experience can sit back, relax in your own private space and let her take care of everything

not especially given the men just could we america enjoy in america. so why, but i have not completed to get a material. ok, like i said, yes, i see michelle i see upon who's talking about the need for that potential to be translated into practical achievements on the grandma sally when we have the trump administration issue in all those statements about the african continent. widely seen as abandoning the continent now it takes a new administration to say will about to reset everything. do you think that when he have those gaps, it would be easy for the us to bring about peace and stability to a place like the horn of africa, where you have sudan if you appear, and somebody else on the verge of more and more. oh, violent episodes of events is the truth. it is good there by dinner. who is trisha is trying to reset every a positive, weird. but the 1st thing you have to do is to reduce credibility, which it lost her. but you had to do the trumpet and she, gillian, group ability, people are members. what it is that the notice has said or done. and sometim

on her to change all of this how do you see the state of unions in america when i look at europe and say you know 65 percent of the workforce is is unionized i look at united states you sort of see 10 percent a declining i'm interested in what you think is going to be needed to either give unions an uptick or to give labor in some other form the kind of power it needs to get to the equilibrium it needs to have. i think that's the big question just as a $64.00 question and we know that the corporate power in the united states is so so excrete and so our poll that it is very difficult for labor unions to be able to to fight against this power i mean even a little example here in california but the farm workers union. a company that i actually ran the election. begin the negotiations over 20 years ago and united farm workers has not been able to get a contract with that company and they prefer to spend millions of dollars literally millions of dollars to prevent workers from having a union contract and better wages better health conditions or pension plans for that and other those milli

dangerous black male america. you know i think that what we're looking at when we look at patriarchy. is dangerous across racial and ethnic spectrums and i would absolutely say you know as a black woman that many. you know that is a risk to us wherever we see cuts masculinity and the. one who is. black male america is incredibly doesn't howard and i would say in a risk to our systems to leverage what america is quite low and talk about this what i'm talking about our power structure when we say who is a power structure look at representation when we look at even you know a great story we're at who is in our marriage offices and who is in our you know cortical in our government we're not seeing an overabundance of black men to make choices you know that harm us and so i would say in fact what we're seeing is the systemic of liberal disenfranchisement and you know inclusiveness of black men in this country by a white supremacist system so i would say the danger as a political structure doesn't exist. what people are

they can't stop the changing of america. they can't stop the browning of america. their white house is going to be the tan house for the. my name is lazara brock and i'm 24 years old. that's why you're in analyzer athena goof all the time. he was a very serious little boy. last row, very, very sweet. he was such a nice. he was very nice. a nice boy perfectionist. lather out. oh my god, he's the thirty's parties. every year. to me, the world was my house and a little bit of that schools. well, growing up i didn't have the standard american childhood of playing with the streets with the other kids because in large part in speak the language. and i was essentially a foreigner in this country despite being born into a big cage. one the president visitors because of our rights improvements in our literacy rate. all good things will come to you if you work for them. if you believe in yourself, why hide your way? no. oh, wow. okay, well my parents put a lot of risk to ensure that i was presented with the most amount of opportunity in my life. they stopped paying their mor

they look at america's role in the world. they saw america's performance in world war 2. they saw, you know, black, white and brown people serving together in the military, but they're unaware of a lot of this anguish and terror in the past. is there a way to, to acknowledge tulsa, to acknowledge what's happened to black americans and brown americans and still find a place to be proud of the united states? how do you reconcile those? because that's what the critics of critical race theory are putting forward. they don't want to put a blight on social studies, which by the way, a lot of americans are not getting any more in schools, but that's what, how they're looking at it. and i look at knowing everything is good, but they're saying now we don't want to have that, that part of the equation in it. what's your robots? reverend barber race is a form of mental illness and mental illness. you don't want to deal with reality. so let's just understand though, that don't want to tell this history. that's a whole another issues. it's not even about just warning that one in ameri

so news between south america or latin america and they are bull came only from agencies that are based in london in paris in madrid, in washington. so there was always this filter of the north rate that we eliminated by, by going directly from latin america to the our book. and that was very obvious. if you put meat ema and new york times reporter, i'm gonna, i'm sorry, i'm gonna have to wrap you there. i know you have great, wonderful stories already. hell. and we appreciate the time and the energy and the love that you have given to the network. you as well of every human to josh. all right, so thank you for joining us. thank you for co hosting. we'll see here tomorrow. frank assess is okay. likely to change biking behavior at all. it's not going to change their behavior. they are going to continue to do what they do and in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera, the latest news as it breaks, no kind of family fe that this is the only way they have to make a living. but it's having a huge impact on the environment with detailed coverage. reagan and int

1st met america only and i think it was just more complicated than that and they're going to see i think in the biden ministration real opportunities to to try to right the ship. but they're not going to be open welcomed with open arms in all instances because their behavior needs to change for that to take place deborah just mentioned that was always on the chopping block in the united states you know there's there's trade there's technology there are a lot of nonmilitary dimensions to the u.s. china relationship there are you know big challenges out there on on climate on a whole variety of fronts that kind of these large transnational questions how do you think the u.s. is situated today in terms of either competing or collaborating with china on trade on climate on terrorism right obviously those are all huge issues and let's take technology just to begin with that is really at the core of a lot of the tensions that we have with china and part of the issue is that focus on how we ensure that our companies are the most innovative in the world and what's in our interests and in doing t

we have not built the america there ought be, and the america as possible. if we have the conscious to do it, we don't have a scarcity of money or a scarcity of solution. we've had a scarcity of moral consciousness and we'll, well, reverend doctor william j barbara the 2nd president of repairs and the breach and co chair of the poor people's campaign. thank you so much for sharing your candid thoughts with us today. thank you. my friend. bless you always. so what's the bottom line? if you went to americans, one black and one white, what they think about racism in the usa. here's what will happen. most white americans will tell you that black people don't face a lot of discrimination today. that those days were long ago and there's been progress and that things are really evening out. and if you ask most black and brown americans the same exact question, they'll say exactly the opposite. that black people faced discrimination every single day. all. busy the time starting with applications to work or to college, or random stops by the police to all the opportu

this is all america. there is a continuum where the american president believe they are starting with a blank canvas. that's not the case for most people around the world. what's happened in january this year? the storming of the capital is still part of what america represents, even if joe biden subsequently became president and represent a different vision in his view. for many people outside of america, it's still the same america, if they were all been very critical of biden but, but he has said himself is at back in favor. i think it was the democracy doesn't happen by accident. we have to defend it. we have to fight for it. we have to strengthen it. and we have to renew it is not just what he's doing now trying to do anyway. i yes, i think he's trying to be more humble. and i think a lot of what he says is quite good. does it resonate? does it arrive? do people even listen to him? i don't necessarily think so. and i think the, the way that democracy promotion typically works the way all the activiti

sixty's and she's not stopped her quest for equality in america ever since in 2012 she was awarded the presidential medal of freedom her advocacy of civil rights workers rights and women's rights by president barack obama she's also originator of the uplifting catchphrase si se puede a yes we can do or swear to what an honor to have you on with us today i want to read something to you that jared question or said and ask you to respond to that he said president trump's policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they're complaining about but he can't want them to be successful more than they want to be successful when you think about american labor american workers do red flags go off guess definitely because early simply saying that work is only just gunned down. continuously. constantly has gone up and end it work it's impossible for them to catch up and even when they talk about the $15.00 an hour minimum wage we know that that minimum wage to keep up with a customer living should be more like $30.00 an hour and maybe not even more than that maybe $3

that's the good part about america. that's the real america america. everybody wants to see all the time. ah, well, i'm in new york city. i'm here to visit the memorial for the 911 fragile. if i'm going to be honest, i feel the summer about it. it's really tragic event and i know that i'm free. it's really tied to the event. it will be really interesting to see what kind of what they have memorial and all the different faces. i saw police officers, saw the fireman lives husband, a victim who could not have been more than 5 years, or the tragedy is an incident that expand upon all kinds of cultures, all kinds of wise, all kinds of families. so i was pretty emotionally moved by it and i can my thoughts get going back to the photo rationale? you think to myself, i was around that age. however, the steel beam was a part of the south tower, the side of the south tower, the same, the same tower that was struck when i was reading to president bush touching his profound. you feel it immediately? how strong the thing is, and you can see it visually. how was lik

but central america is changing. no longer do all the countries here in the region automatically say yes to everything that washington wants. when washington wants it. and increasingly, more countries here are speaking with different voices, voices that often run contrary to the interest of the united states. gabriel is aniko. i'll just say to san jose goes to rica, jo biden's administration, suspending oil and gas leases and a nature reserve in the state of alaska. he'd already and post a temporary pause on drilling in the arctic national wildlife refuge on his 1st and office that halted leases approved by for president donald trump. the rhetorical rich region has been at the center of a political fight between developers and activists. for decades. the white house as a ransom where attacked the shut down production in both the u. s. and a straightly probably came from russia. j. b. s is the world's largest beat packer it. so it's operations disrupted on monday investigation. suggestive hackers were from a criminal

she said that in central america, the amount of coal with 19 infections have doubled that in south america. columbia has the highest in faction rate and it's followed by argentina and brazil. but she also expressed great concern about the situation in haiti, the poorest nation in the western hemisphere that's been struggling with political instability and malnutrition because of the ongoing situation. and because of course, not pin code, he said that for the 1st time haiti had reported 10 that in one day, this may not seem high, but it could be easily under reported until now. it seemed that he could have been spared of coven 19 with a very low number of infections about the situation seems to be changed. the health minister of haiti said that hospitals in the country could be about to collapse because of the increase of coven 19 infection. vaccines have not had arrived in haiti, penn american health organization said that they're trying to assist the nations and aid, but also vaccines. and that the asked was then, and i've seen, could be arriving in this carry be a nation to a cold with 1

but we see that in the domestic america, for example. ready or in europe, you are close to 3 and then the levels. and the reason for that is, is that the regulations so that people can actually travel. and we think the same thing will happen in long hall. regulations are i think it's, it's really the key people really want to travelers or people move on to travel right now that will allow us to we estimate that when it's going to be both at present levels across the atlantic getting close there to. and if we think is gonna be good here for 24 in our information will be the time where we will be on the or at the levels before. but obviously there are a few unknown. this virus that are going forward. something like 40 airlines collapsed during the pan that you think we're going to see more collapsing before things actually begin to improve? yeah, well, i think you might, you will all be collapsing either because strategy structure, whatever they happen. open a crisis situation right now. normally due to competition and that might very well

for many people outside of america, it's still the same america. if they were all been very critical of by them but, but he has said himself and said back in favor, i think it was a democracy doesn't happen by accident. we have to defend it. we have to fight for it. we have to strengthen it and we have to renew it is not just what he's doing now trying to do anyway. i yes, i think he is trying to be more humble. and i think a lot of what he says is quite good. does it resonate? does it arrive? do people even listen to them? i don't necessarily think so. and i think the, the way that democracy promotion typically works the way all the activities that are typically called democracy promotion. where, you know, america is promoting an abstract concept. i don't think a particularly successful, as scott said before, you have to break down democracy into different things, into the rule of law, into transparency, into anti corruption into parts of development that are accountable to people. if you promote these things, you are moving towards democracy. but

and until america straightened out to its own house. but where do you think america isn't going? we can look at other one to 10 and say, oh, where a 8 and a half. i think the thing about what is a democracy, right? a democracy is when people are practicing democratic principles and we're not doing that. democracies are more than an election. yes, we had a lot election right. ok, but we need to be practicing it. and when we look at what's happening across the country with voter bills, with all of these clamped down, i think that's where we least. thank you. that's are daniel freed column, this elise lab and in political economists. david our, thank you so much for your candor. this a great conversation. thanks for joining us today. thank you. thank you. so what's the bottom line is america, the last place that should be preaching about democracy? a lot has been done in the name of democracy that just hasn't delivered for americans or for folks around the world. the richer getting obscene the richer while many are really struggling. in this country, you can be sidelined easily if y

and so on the what is not enough, especially given the men just good we america enjoys in america and so way but i have not completed material tubs. ok. i like i said, yes, i see appoint michelle. i see upon say, talking about the need for that potential to be translated into practical achievements on the grandma sally when we have the trump administration issue, all those statements about the african continent, widely seen as abandoning the continent. now it takes a new administration to say will about to reset everything. do you think that when he had those gaps, it would be easy for the us to bring about peace and stability to a place like the horn of africa, where you have sudan if you appear and samaria on the verge of more and more a violent episode of events is a true good is good, good. there by dinner, who is trisha is trying to reset it a positive way. but the 1st thing you'd have to do is to reduce credibility, which is not what you are doing. the trumpet, who's she? gillian, group ability, people are members, what it is that the united states has said or done, and sometime
