we need to engage with europe, stronger together in the world. there is every chance that the europeans will be the ones who put the u.s. and tehran back together in a single room. let me make one other point, picking up on something heather talked about, which is global climate. a very important segment of this speech was china. the u.s. and its confrontation but also its cooperation with china. we are not going to resolve global climate without working closely with china. even at the same time, we have to face the challenges that are coming out. europe will be key here. climate will be an important opportunity for cooperation with china. i think that was a subtext in the speech as well. >> this has been an all star panel. my thanks to each of you for your brilliant insights. admiral, kelly o'donnell and heather, thank you. >>> state department spokesperson ned price will join my colleague to talk about president biden's foreign policy. that's today at 3:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. >>> in a few minutes, we exbekt -- expect to see dr. fa

so europe is really struggling. being tested in ways not seen since the last century. >> why is the astrazeneca vaccine being suspended? >> well, it's been suspended because of these cases of blood clots that have been reported. now, just to give you a picture, in germany they rolled out 1.7 million astrazeneca vaccines. they've seep seven cases of the serious blood clots. it has the electorate worried in europe so the government there paused the rollout of the vaccine. it's not clear if there's a connection between the blood clots and vaccine itself. it's being studied by the world health organization but critics are saying the problem is for europe actually the coronavirus itself is causing much more pain and agony and is a far higher risk to leave people unvaccinated. so it's just another problem for europe, which is really struggling over the coronavirus. we've said in the past, steph, the coronavirus will have geopolitical ill florida indications and you can see that happening now. europe's unity really being t

and europe? >> without question, the united nations will be one of the forums that you will see action taken. we've already seen the u.s. and the u.k., with their partners try to take action there, and i think, you know, the messaging is quite clear. the u.s. and europe views the way the uighurs are treated as a human rights issue, and they are sending a message to beijing that it will be an issue going forward for them. >> all right, keir simmons live in london for us. thanks to the three of you for starting us off this hour. >>> a new usa today ipsos poll shows one in four americans nearly half of asian americans have seen someone blame asian people for the coronavirus pandemic. this comes as people in the atlanta area continue to mourn the eight people, including six asian women, killed in last week's shootings. nbc news's kathy park joins us from atlanta. good to have you with us. what more have we learned about the victims as they are being remembered today? >> reporter: well, good afternoon

why is it that there's so much vaccine skepticism in europe? i find that a little bit surprising. >> it's the same really in the states and it depends on the country. when i was in france last year, there was a period when 60% of french people responded to surveys and said they would not be getting any vaccine. there have been incidents in the past where government programs and doctors have tried to administer vaccines and there have been health problems, there have been scares. a lot of these things have never really turned into anything. and a lot of this was sort of innuendo and not to scientific. but at the end of the day, there is a lot of skepticism. there's a lot of worries about vaccines, just as there is in the states. it's part of an anti-vaxxer movement that really is global. >> remarkable. nbc's matt bradley, thanks so much for being here. really appreciate it. >>> just to underscore that point, ask your local doctor. these vaccines, we know, have been shown to be safe and effective and are going to get us thankfully out of this pan

she said the country is becoming, belarus is becoming the north korea of europe. that's what lukashenko is doing there. and that, of course, has implications not only for by the russians and the way they live, but also for how much of a threat that poses to europe and that neighborhood as putin, again, embraces that country as its dictator seems to be going off the rails. do you expect there will be new sanctions there, and this is potentially a new global flash point the president is going to have to confront on this trip? >> a remarkable leader, i was in lithuania with them last week meeting with them. and we should offer her and her democratic movement support. listen, does it matter to the u.s. in the end whether belarus is aligned with russia, or aligned with the west? probably not. that's a decision for the belarusian people to. make we should stand squarely behind their right to make it. and now with the downing of this plane, with a state sponsored hijacking having taken place, we need to send a message to the world and other dictators who would be dictato

not only italy, the whole of europe. the government is promising soon they'll vaccinate half a million people per day, and they promise to vaccinate 80% of italians by september. the second reason they're hopeful is that the warm season is about to come. we remember from last year that the heat also brings down the number of covid-19 cases to the point that last summer, italians were partying like it was 2019. combination of things, italians are saying i am willing to take this, make this sacrifice again but for the very last time. >> all right. thank you. >>> joining me, dr. megan rainy, emergency physician. great to have you back on with us. appreciate your time. we heard from the reporter in italy as well as in germany that they announced their third wave of the pandemic if you will. do you think the u.s. is in better condition compared to u.n. countries or could we face a similar wave in weeks ahead. it seems we have been lagging behind europe over the course of the pandemic. how do you see it play out? >> it is a li

you see europe going into lockdown and astrazeneca which is more wildly used in europe, is the bloodclotting a reason to stop use of this vaccine? >> this is difficult. they have seen the rise of this b117. this is what we have all been worried about in the united states. you know, i have seen no data so far that makes me think that these bloodclots are from the vaccine. they are common, particularly among older people. i am worried that they are stopping the vaccinations for something not related to the vaccine at all. >> how much do you think of the third wave in europe, the surge now, because of the spread of the uk variant, can be attributed to the slow rollout by eu? >> i think a lot. that variance is the same surge happening here in the united states. we are not seeing it in the same way. we are seeing a decline in cases. that's because we have vaccines going out, vaccinating at two or three times the rate of european countries. i think the eu was way too slow on getting vaccines ready for their population and unfortunately, they are having to suffer for that. >> in fact, the data show

it's perfectly timed as the president makes his first foray back to europe. it makes people just want to be part of the american experiment again. it wants -- it makes them want to align themselves with us economically and diplomatically. it's good for america from a purely sort of selfish standpoint. we are in a race to try to stamp out this virus and its variants as quickly as we can. so we don't end up with a variant that is immune to the vaccine. it ends up protecting us to inoculate the world as fast as possible. it also just wins a lot of friends and begins to rebuild our ability to create partnerships that are good for the country. >> that idea about building partnerships and winning friends, i listened to an interview today by president bide biden's national security advisor. he did an interview upon them arriving in the uk. he stressed a couple of points about this move. he said, as you know, the other two countries in the world that have been making a very big deal out of the fact that they are distributing their vaccines abroad are china and also r

like the president is going to leave for europe regardless. it doesn't matter if he has something in hand as much politically he wants to have a deal to go over there to italy and then scotland. same with the governors race next week. the two things are not inherently linked even though people want them to be. are democrats facing debate giving up things? >> probably not. as you stated, these are not hard deadlines, but they do affect morale and confidence and belief and faith and what's going to happen moving forward, and i think we saw this, you know, when it came to the coronavirus pandemic and the july 4th deadline. these are not things that, you know, have to be accomplished by these specific dates, but it certainly does take some of the wind, you know, out of the and to say that mission was accomplished by the time that we, you know, set for it to be done. and that can really make it very difficult to remind or should i say convince the voters that the party has done what they said they would do when they said they would do it. >> "the w

they dominate gas supplies to europe. whether or not that new pine line goes ahead, and it's almost finished. and that, by the way, points to the fact that particularly western europe will be incredibly reluctant to put in energy-related sanctions, for example, against russia because of the damage it would do to europe itself. so that's where president putin really understands something. he kind of understands that the u.s. and western europe have to negotiate in some way, and, again, back to the point, the question is where is president putin trying to get to in these negotiations? one of the points, i think is really important, chuck, washington and president biden is trying to pivot towards china, confronting china. there is not an alliance between russia and china, but as everybody knows from theory of war, if you're trying to fight on two fronts it's more difficult than one front. president putin understands that the west needs to close down the questions with him if they want to focus on beijing, and he wants to kee

you and i were both in europe when he went to the g7 summit back in june. how is that going to feel very different from what we're going the see today? >> jon, it will be different in a couple of respects. one is president biden has been the president of the united states that ma more months. a number of things have happened between june and now that really haven't gone as the white house intended. clearly the way the afghanistan withdrawal was handled has upset a number of nato allies that fought alongside u.s. for all those years, and a number of those nato allies really felt like at the very end when everyone was rushing to get all their people out, that bind wasn't listening to them when they said they needed more time or they needed various things to change procedurally so they could get their own people out and afghans who had worked for those countries alongside the united states and afghanistan. so there's some sore feelings there. and then you get to the france -- very complicated france/australia/u.s. sub deal. if you can keep that straight, you m

i think that there is real hope here in europe. i will say one thing, and now, after reporting on the coronavirus for this year, i will say one thing. i've learned from that never to judge how well a country is doing, because every time you think a country's doing well, another wave comes, another challenge comes. but certainly, i think there is hope that there will be a stronger partnership between europe and america. i will say this, though. the world is changing dramatically, being changed by this virus and by other geopolitical factors, so that piece of history is yet to be written, really. >> doctor, we're going to come to you in one second but we just got some new tape in from a couple minutes ago. we saw president biden depart the white house. he's on his way, departing on his first official trip as president, heading to wisconsin, and wisconsin and looking to sell his covid relief plan at a town hall event in milwaukee tonight. he stopped to talk to reporters on the way. let's listen to that. >> do you think that mitch mcco

so is europe and the u.s. prepared to go toe to toe with vladimir putin? >> i think we're probably prepared to do certain things. some of the sanctions, the fact that the second -- some of the military enhancements that would follow not just the help to ukraine, but i think there would be support in europe if russia invaded ukraine. for example, for increasing nato presence in countries like poland. some of the baltic states. i think the real achilles heel of europe is the gas situation, the natural gas situation. gas is extraordinarily expensive right now. supplies are inadequate. there's the ten den -- dependence on russia. i'm not sure they have the economic strength to take much more pressure on the gas front from russia. if there's a weakness in the united response, that's it. that applies to the new government as it did to the previous government in germany. >> for sure. angela merkel was on the other side there of the pipeline creating huge problems for the administration with members of the senate and getting the ambassadors confirmed. let's talk a

europe is coming together. and i think in the long-term, that's probably true. in the short-term, it meant a lot of chaos, inefficiency, and that slowed things up. there was also in france, certainly in december, very strong resistance to vaccines, to this vaccine. where exactly that came from is not clear, but a lot of people were hesitant. that number has gone down quite radically. people do seem to be ready to have the vaccine, if they can get at it. it's only recently that france has introduced what they are calling vaccine-o-dromes. just huge stadiums converted into vaccination centers. and i think president macron is very conscious of the need to get this done, in order to open the country, get the economy going, move the french out of their current sullen state before the election a year from now. and let's not underestimate how the enormity of a la penn presidency, if that were to happen, it would change the equation completely in europe. >> yeah. eddie glaude is with us and has a question for ian bremm

we know that the energy weapon is now a real one and threatens to be a greater weapon against europe because of this pipeline that the russians have now built under the baltic sea into germany. the migrant crisis is just another battlefield, if you will, on this. there have been cyberattacks. so the range of provocative actions, yes, the strike against the satellite is the most recent, but it's not the only one. >> look, ukraine is not a member of nato. we know that. do you get the sense that if russia invades the rest of ukraine that the u.s. would remain pat or they would push back? >> i think they would push back. probably not militarily, because as you say, ukraine is not a member of nato, so the joint commitment to respond to an ally does not apply to ukraine. however, there are a lot of things, a lot of efforts, a lot of pressure that the nato allies can place on russia in response to that kind of aggression that you talk about. number one, in anticipation, trying to forestall such an invasion is really important. and nato allies have been doing that. nato allies have been putt

i'll have more to say after i return from a critical meeting in europe this week. but for now, let me lay out a few points. first, we face -- and i apologize for saying this again. we face an inflection point as a nation. for most of the 20 th century, we led the world by a significant margin because we invested in our people. not only our roads and highways and bridges, but in our people. and our families. we didn't just build an interstate highway system. we built a highway to the sky. we invested to win the space race, and we won. we're also among the first to provide access to free education for all americans, beginning back in the late 18 00s. that decision alone to invest in our children and their families was a major part of why we were able to lead the world for much of the 20th century. somewhere along the way, we stopped investing in ourselves, in our people. america's still the largest economy in the world. we still have the most productive workers and most innovative minds in the world. what we risk losing our edge as a nation. our infrastructure used t

he has created economic relations, the dependency that many countries in europe have on russia for their energy source. sort of like their gas station. so when it comes to north stream and germany and when it comes to what we see happening in several other countries in europe who are part of the european union and have to act by consensus of all the countries in the european union, which is an enormous challenge. so, you know, he is, you know, systematically working it. but we also had an administration for the last four years that allow him to do so with immunity. this is a totally different paradigm. the beginning of this trip that president biden took to the eu or the g7 and with nato, i think begins to set the structure to push back and make it very clear that there will be consequences. he started off his administration by delivering some consequences and we did. >>> see that before. look, it tells you the difference between trump who very recently said he had a good meeting with putin in 2018 and he believes putin against all of our intelligence agencies. if republicans don't get i

we have one of the largest muslim communities in europe. we are the third largest jewish community in the world. we are really very much attached to this diversity, to this tolerance. this is the base of our policy, exactly the contrary to fight against racism, to fight for tolerance. it's a base for our society. >> but what does it say -- you probably heard me in the beginning of the segment -- i know you have presidential elections next year. one of the most prominent potential candidates is a person convicted of racial incitement. he wants to ban non-french names. he is a person getting a lot of traction. what does that say about the politics of your country that someone like this could have such popularity in this current climate? >> for the time being, i think it says only one thing, that candidates or potential candidates try to put the question of migration, immigration in the center, in the focus of the political debate. the elections -- thank you for asking about our elections. it will be a very important moment for us, for our dem

i think that's where some american allies in europe may have beenoverly optimistic, a little naive. america is going to always put its own interests first. if they want to get out of afghanistan, they are going to get out of afghanistan. that annoys the french. that's the way super power works. is it a little surprising? a degree to which the biden administration have had some collateral damage simply by not informing allies and calling them beforehand and acting a little bit more diplomatically and i think that's what surprised allies. it's a different mood, joe biden getting up to the united nation today giving that speech, is it different mood for the europeans. it's in america's self interests the way it does. a little more effort to be taken from this white house to make sure less damage among our allies. >> jonathan lemire, joe biden did announce yesterday the lifting in november of a travel ban but for foreign visitors, the united states can show proof of vaccinations, that'll please european allies for sure. what does the president view of his job here when he steps up to th

but europe is experiencing thei vaccines than europe is. but europe is seernsing their own surge. we have literally followed europe three to four weeks like clockwork. that's does not need to happen, but one thing is true. when we see the variant that originated in the uk, when it reaches about 50% of cases, all countries go through an exponential rise. that's what we want to avoid. so the next four to six weeks are critical to avoid that scenario. all you have to do is turn on any, u station and you'll see they are talking about lockdowns again. they are restricting travel and experiencing their own surge. italy, which we saw the deadly scenes out of at beginning of the year, they are having some of the same flashbacks to previous surges. we need to avoid that. >> it's terrible to see them going through this again. just concerning to see the pictures of spring breakers. you want to say wait three more months. thank you so much for spending some time with us. when we return as we do every day, we'll remember lives well lived. y, we'll remember lives wl lived. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪

he sees it as a world war ii level kind of conflict in europe right now. so, it would not just harm ukraine. it would also put nato countries on edge. it would also be a major test of western deterrence. let's not forget that the u.s., this administration, just went through afghanistan. which was seen as a catastrophe for the united states, a major show of weakness by many. if now suddenly the u.s. rolls over and allows a u.s. ally, and this country is a close u.s. ally, what is described as a strategic partnership right on nato's door step, if the u.s. just rolls over once again it could be yet another blow to u.s. credibility. let alone costing tens of thousands of potential lives in this country and did destabilizing nato allies. so, a great deal would be at stake. but a great deal, as matt was describing earlier, would be at stake for russia. russia does not want to see its economy closed off from the rest of the world. there have been sanctions, targeted sanctions, put on russian individuals, russian oligarchs, but not syrian-level, iranian-level on t

europe's got some legislation. europe's done more thinking about this than we have. do you know how we get good legislation that allows you to use your phone the way you want to use it? >> there's a ton of proposals out there. europe has had privacy regulation for a couple years now. i think a lot of people would say it maybe hasn't been quite as effective as people wanted it to be. i think really the problem is we just sort of, you know, created this situation where commercially we're used to using a lot of things for free. and the way that's funded has been through advertising. and yo you might download a whether app and say oh, this is just to see what the weather is in my area. of course i'm going to share my location with them so i can see what the weather in my area is. in those terms of service you agree to they're taking that location data and selling it to the data broker and selling it to someone else. so that whole system would have to change. >> congressman khanna, it does seem there's bipartisan support for this. is there some meaningful legislation that

the president wants a win before he gets on the plane to go to europe. he wants to be able to tell different countries at the g-20, the climate conference, and the pope as well, what he's getting done at home. it's a big, big day with a lot of moving parts. >> and neal katyal, if you were running the 1/6 committee or advising the staff, what would you want asked to mr. clark and mr. eastman? >> i think jeff clark just has to come and tell the truth. he was a low level environmental lawyer running temporarily the civil division. he decided to try to overstep his bounds by far. basically try and machinate to become the attorney general and displace jeffrey rosen, the acting attorney general. we need to know the story about what happened. and particularly what did trump say to him, and what did he say to trump, and what was trump's role in this whole thing? it's been almost a year, and we don't have answers to those basic questions. which is just unforgivable. as far as john eastman, i think a subpoena on him is inevitable. he tried last week to say he didn

president biden is on his way back from europe as we speak. there's no rule that says he has to sign this newly passed bill h as soon as he gets back. but there is some good timing coming up that would seem to indicate that he has reason to hurry. june 19th, juneteenth, is saturday. today is wednesday, the 16th. the 19th is this weekend. so if he signs this new law, this new bill into law on saturday or before, this year, 2021, will be the first year that we as a nation commemorate that day as a federal holiday.y. we will commemorate it together as a country. even including the 14 republican men who voted against it. it will be a holiday in their country, too. even if they don't like it. so we will see about the timing on when it gets signed into law. it's a big deal, a big vote, a big thing for our country and our history. it will also indelibly shine a nice, bright spotlight on the 14 republican men who stood against it. hi, guys, hope you enjoy this weekend in particular a lot. today at the summit in switzerland, president biden and preside
