somehow we're treating all these diseases that have existed for a long time something that is so deadly and i believe that with good sanitation good hygiene good nutrition and existing information you can treat me at least for my child that's my personal stand but i don't go around telling parents not to vaccinate their kids. reasons cited by other parents for not vaccinating include concerns about possible adverse side effects and religious grounds this debate is taking place not only in malaysia but globally the world health organization has blamed vaccine misinformation as a major threat to global health saying it could reverse progress made in tackling preventable diseases one example is measles provisional data from the w.h.o. indicates the have been more measles cases reported worldwide in the 1st half of this year than in any year since 2006 the rise in measles cases is driven by poverty in some places but in more developed countries is due to a growing wave of people who refuse immunization for their children in malaysia the

4:22 pm
national security adviser under president donald trump but that wasn't enough to save him just like his predecessor john bolton has been tweeted out of the white house bolton was known for his hard line stance against countries like iran and north korea and he disagreed with the president over foreign policy most recently on afghanistan he opposed trump's plan to bring members of the taliban to camp david to sign a peace accord those views led to the president firing him although bolton says he resigned so what does this departure mean for u.s. foreign policy and is there anyone who can hold on to one of the most powerful positions in the white house we'll speak to our guests in a moment but 1st alan fischer reports from washington. you're going to do a fantastic job and i appreciate you for that and that there had been growing divisions between john bolton to his course but the end was brutal even by the standards of this white house donald trump tweeting i informed john bolton last
4:23 pm
night that his services are no longer needed at the white house i do. strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the administration therefore i asked for his resignation which was given to me this morning bolton tweeted not the usual thanks for being able to serve but an insistence he quit rather than being fired at a news briefing at the white house which bolton was initially listed to attend stephen secretary of state mike pompey it defended the president's decision the president's entitle to the staff that he wants at any moment as a staff person who works directly for the president of states and he should have people the trust and values if there were many times in basketball that i disagree that's to be sure but that's true for lots of lots of people who with whom i interact john bolton was don't trump start national security adviser the longest serving so far but with his stated positions of using military force in iran and north korea he was annoyed fit for a president whose isolationist america 1st policy wanted to reduce the u.s.
4:24 pm
military footprint reason only folding was against talking to north korea against pulling u.s. troops out of syria and against the president's latest idea of inviting afghanistan's taliban to peace talks at camp david that seems to have been the breaking point we have seen from this and from every other firing but what he really wants are people that echo what he already wants to do and with bolton's opposition gone there could be obvious changes for example that there's a better chance the president will meet with his a really encounter part president made very clear is prepared to meet with no preconditions before he became president donald trump considered john bolton for the role of secretary of state but ultimately decided against it because he felt he didn't look the part mainly because of his mr bush now after 18 months as the national security advisor john bolton once again finds that his face doesn't fit alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house john bolton joins
4:25 pm
a long list of white house employees who go to chop tom's a 1st advisor retired. general michael flynn lost in just $24.00 days the shortest tenure of any security adviser in history he was replaced by h.l. mcmaster known for his roles of honest on both gulf wars the last just over a year other high profile departures include the former secretary of state rex tillerson the secretary of defense jim mattis who lost along the most holding his position for more than 2 years and then there's also former white house chief strategist steve bannon and former f.b.i. director james comey to name just a few. let's bring in our panel joining us from washington d.c. joined jones former senate national security director under former national security adviser chuck schumer from birmingham on skype scott lucas founder and editor of in a world view and professor of political science and international studies at the
4:26 pm
university of birmingham and also from washington d.c. janet venue president and c.e.o. of the truman national security project welcome to you all to the program i'd like to begin with john jones in d.c. 1st in many ways this is been a very extraordinary relationship between the 2 men between john bolton who has been seen as being very hawkish very angry towards iran particularly north korea and wanting to take direct action and donald trump who has a shall we say a more mecurio nature when it comes to foreign policy now it's clear that the 2 men have disagreed and the disagreement has led to john bolton either resigning or being pushed at the white house depending on who you believe but the question i want to ask you mr jones is is this a chance for the u.s. to reset its foreign policy and to become much more united rather than have these big differences that we've seen in the past. it's very interesting in iran right now the united states foreign policy establishment is at
4:27 pm
a crossroads within the republican party you have those individuals who support a pro isolation policy for the united states government and those who support a pro intervention policy for the united states government right now it seems that the pro isolation wing or element within the republican party is winning but the pro intervention element within the party is highly numbered and it's just too soon for this debate to end john bolton at the end of the day was a someone who had a very forceful arguments and made his criticisms aware to the president and it appears that it probably started out with the links with leaks to the media but whether you're serving a president a united states senator or any political principle your criticisms
4:28 pm
once they become public then you're no longer going to be one to or needed whether in the white house or in a u.s. senate office let's bring in jenna. in d.c. there is this you all human to be made once the president has decided on a direction for foreign policy even if you disagree with him you should probably try and make policy was john bolton really didn't seem to fit into that camp today . no he didn't and that is not a 1st for john bolton and it's true as john notes once you get out of step with your boss it's either to put you know your time is to put up to shut up there aren't a lot of options here at this point what we need to be looking at moving forward as that who is going to be the 4th national security adviser and just 3 years that's not a recipe for a talent we're looking at destroying options and the path forward is really uncertain at a time when john bolton has really been quite effective in dismantling the national
4:29 pm
security council but you know i have to say this this president particularly likes people he knows he understands money from the business world it has to be said a lot of key positions of filled with people he's known for a very long time always looking at a national security adviser the mayor will come from a small circle of people and not the wider foreign policy circle of people in d.c. and he's not a threat. well it's possible but let's think about what this job entails you're really pulling together the department of homeland security for which there is no secretary the director of national intelligence for which there is no head nor is there a deputy really it's a hollowed out national security establishment it requires a lot of nuance a lot of inner agency coordination and a tremendous amount of sophistication and expertise trouble at this point would be really hard pressed to find somebody who meets that criteria and it's likely that he's going to get somebody who's a real yes man to him and that's
4:30 pm
a problem and it's not a good path to peace jones owns a another yes man in the white house is that healthy. what you want is someone who is going to provide the best analysis and advice to the president especially with all of this serious national security challenges that we have going on today i don't think we want to lose sight of the fact that in many ways in his own right john bolton was rather successful someone who started as a in turn of the nixon administration worked in legislative affairs in the reagan white house very political in nature and he was successful in terms of his goals which probably did not align in the with the long term goals of this president in terms of getting the u.s. deeply involved into venezuela. put pulling the united states out of the nuclear agreement with iraq and lastly taking steps to in every way shape and form and what would have been president trumps potential meeting
4:31 pm
with representatives of the taliban at camp david that was probably his swan song at the end of the day so in his own right his goals were met but those weren't the goals i believe that mr trump and most importantly when you look at the national security adviser position there's not going to may not going to be many to choose from who at least within the u.s. foreign policy establishment who may be. lining up at the door to work in the trump white house but rest assured that i may not be very long but there will be a lot of those pretty in school luke is here from your outside of the washington foreign policy in a world shall we say. there is a lot of conversation going on right now where people are wondering what the u.s. is foreign policy actually is is it serious you have a 30 year old now who's in charge of who's now the middle east effectively the middle east peace envoy berkovitz who used to be
4:32 pm
a coffee boy. you have no national security adviser right now the president says he will appoint one in the coming week. you're looking at disarray. from the outside is that something that you'll seeing are you seeing a white house that has no real leadership has no real agenda. i don't just see it live through it each day well limit 2 points for john and jenna to consider it with their own marks about where u.s. foreign policy is the 1st is that the primary goal for a trump foreign policy is donald trump's ego it makes no sense to make talk about it for us foreign policy when you talk about on russia that a lot of the agencies want to take a tougher line with a lot of reply but donald trump embraces him on north korea where the north koreans continue to pursue a nuclear missile program but don't up once a photo opportunity of kim jong un on iran or the u.s.
4:33 pm
pursuing maximum pressure at this point with sanctions but donald trump wants to get another photo opportunity if not with the supreme leader or the iranian president hassan rouhani and perhaps most importantly were donald trump's opinion about alliances they go about 70 years is dictated by the idea that whether it's the europeans whether it's the japanese the south koreans they're all out to rip off the united states and the 2nd one on top of that is if it's donald trump's foreign policy it's also a family and friends foreign policy as you just pointed out now apart from a trump loyalist like mark might come peo who separate state you really are talking about a foreign policy coming from someone like an unelected and largely inexperienced advisor and i'm sure questioner who is donald trump's son in law and who now has tapped as the new u.s. envoy to the middle east including the israel palestine issue and even less experienced 30 year old men of your crew it's this is not foreign policy as we've known for decades whether we agree with that policy or disagree with it this is
4:34 pm
simply a roller coaster ride because donald trump wants this as he does his business for the sake of donald trump well let's get reaction so that they begin with a venue to in d.c. will it heal thinking. scott you make a great point this is not the way the business is done this is not the way to strengthen our alliances and this is not the way to keep america safe and as we stand here today in washington on september 11th 201918 years after the attacks on this nation we are confronted with a national security establishment in disarray and the people it really affects the most are the american people because when there is not that kind of coronation when the best advice and analysis is not put forward before the president nor is it even considered remotely that puts the american people at risk and what we're talking about 18 years later and setting up a scenario in which the same kind of intelligence failures could befall our country
4:35 pm
and that's really serious to say nothing of the 2 wars of choice in iraq and afghanistan that have yet to come to an end joins in d.c. is ego over analysis. well more so than ego more so than analysis we have to look at the fact especially on 911 when we. take a moment to kind of step back and understand it was an attack on all americans it was also an attack on our democracy and what we have right now with the foreign policy is a result of a democratic election and the challenges that this nation faces are very very serious but it's also going to be incumbent upon those in the foreign policy establishment to be able to communicate not just 2 leading actors within the foreign policy establishment or leaders but the everyday american people to really get them to understand to grasp how serious these issues are that we're facing today and why it's so important that we have policy policymakers and elected
4:36 pm
leaders will put policy makers in place who can deal with the challenges of today not just the national security challenges of today but also the economic challenges that the united states has happens to deal happen to deal with in terms of china if you look at china for years you know the american people have been complaining about the trade issue with china there are many who do not agree with mr trump policy as it pertains to china but many every day american voters in philadelphia pennsylvania in scranton pennsylvania in dayton ohio they support mr trump standing up to china so i think the biggest challenge today is how foreign policy leaders communicate to everyday americans who actually will and will help elect the next president the united states to understand just how serious the challenges are and why we have to have leaders and policy makers in place who can meet those challenges the term the silicon valley loves disagree more and that's exactly what
4:37 pm
we're doing is all around the country trim in many areas and 16 chapters yeah just to add on john's point if i may that's exactly what the chairman national security project is about is about bringing up the next generation of. thought leaders in this space but also activating people in their own communities and we need to understand in all levels not just outside of washington that everybody is a foreign policy voter whether or not he or she realizes because all of these decisions are impacting whether it's the the cost of a washing machine as we see is the result of trump's trade wars of choice or the jobs that people have in the building people to come here and work all of the stuff matters to the american people about the keeping people safe and keeping them prosperous but talking to people and ways that they can understand about what is really at stake here because the stakes could not be higher still i want to bring you in here there is a term the silicon valley loves disruption donald trump seems a very very disruptive in the unusual take on u.s. foreign policy however this isn't about just iran north korea this isn't about
4:38 pm
venezuela there seems to be an underlying foreign policy don't trump is obsessed with this china china china is this the real thing that donald trump wants a concentrates on it's this idea that china is now the enemy and everything else is it is a destruction. well i partly agree with you i think china is certainly a focus of the trump ministration in part because donald trump wants someone that he can front up to and say you know i'm the master of the art of the deal i'll make them surrender but in part because a very hard line economic advisors like peter navarro like robert litan hisor who really don't see a win win economic world these days but treated as a win lose but the reason why i say only in part is it's not just china number dolphins trade wars have been extended to canada and mexico to south korea to japan and indeed to the european union and one of the big stories that i don't think will
4:39 pm
matter as much to us voters matters us to hear the ok it's all dolled up as the visors of trying to weaken the european union in part by supporting boris johnson becoming prime minister to get a harder even no deal broke so why is that important because that us european alliance which is arguably but at the bedrock of international security since the 1940 s. trump and his advisors have no belief and partly because trump egotistically doesn't like european leaders but in part because he has certain hard line that is whether you talk about a shared coach and whether you talk about a steven miller who actually believe that europe in effect is no longer a trusted equally united states but should take its place as a follower who keeps its voice down. dungeons in d.c. we used to talk at the very beginning of this administration about don't trump having adults in the room those adults seem to have gone and now he's surrounding himself with with people with even very little experience or as a says with
4:40 pm
a hardline agenda is that anybody that can read rein in this president and his thinking or is they simply he is going to do what he wants and he's going to tweet what he wants. no i believe mr trump has said very early on that he is the decider in chief and that he will listen to people perhaps discuss issues in front of them but once he makes his mind up he's not going to be just swayed in any direction and he doesn't take very kindly to dissent i think mr bull in the biggest challenge is look you have national security advisers all the time where difficult relationship with this i could carry a state or the treasury secretary other senior officials in the and their administration but i believe mr ball in relationships with senior officials in a minute in the administration became toxic going back to what the other guest said in terms of europe the european union many people don't agree with donald trump
4:41 pm
policy doesn't pertain to the european union or his support of boris johnson but you do have another a large group of americans who read the wall street journal financial times and look at what they perceive to be an unbalanced relationship in terms of the european union's. treatment of american companies whether it's american tech companies whether it's american cosmetic companies and terms of what they perceive are unfair tariffs and if you look at this particular constituency they may not like president trump but they do feel that the u.s. trade relationship has been on balance and president trump has been pretty good at taking advantage of that sentiment sentiment to achieve his own particular goals whether there are goals that are aligned with u.s. foreign policy or just his particular goals that have to do with his popularity there's a sentiment there mr trump has been able to put his finger on it and he's also been very good at it at basically being able to do certain things or tweak certain
4:42 pm
things when he does this he understands that he's going to get a reaction that is almost incensed whether it's from the media. whether it's from other party leaders or whether it's from the foreign policy establishment and every time he does that he actually achieve his goals and he is doing what he set out to do let me just ask the question to scott this is a president who seems to think that his foreign policy is successful they he has made successes as you know it you know it donald trump is a demagogue and i appreciate john's in a really really interesting point but at least from my perspective i think we have to get away from saying that donald trump's tweet leads at his 3035 percent of the base follow and the rest of us are caught up with in other words i want to go back to the earlier point john gentle make which is that you have to i think all of us
4:43 pm
whether in the media academics analyst and geos activists communicate in our communities and say look trade wars don't help trade wars hurt you whether you're concerned or whether you're manufacturer or whether you're a farmer tearing up alliances or destabilizing allies alliances like nato or with asian partners are not helpful embracing wider report and trashing your own intelligence agencies russia's pursuing a very let's say aggressive foreign policy is not stabilizing and on key issues like climate change which include all of us rather than paying attention and following his tweets which says it's all a hoax we've actually got to politely but i think very firmly say this is the way we want to go and that means i think we have to take it beyond the personality politics that we will have today a trump versus bolton both of these paths are to be stabilizing and dangerous bolton because it's too confrontational and double crossed because it's too unpredictable and frankly void of any coherent thought tena ben yehuda in d.c.
4:44 pm
let's get your reaction do you think this president has a plan. no he doesn't have a plan his plan is to get as much attention on television as possible to create spectacle diplomacy which is not diplomacy supported by the analysis and actions and activities and relationships of the departments that report to him this doesn't make america safer nor does it make america more prosperous when america pulls back from these alliances whether they be political alliances and security alliances like nato whether it's the european union whether it's the trans-pacific partnership or trade deals around the world what it means is that the world goes on without the united states and it means that u.s. interests are not being voiced what we're actually talking about here is the u.s. pulling back from rules and order that the u.s. created and so the notion that doing so would somehow serve the u.s.
4:45 pm
is own self interest is preposterous at a time when we're also trying really trampling on the democratic norms that this nation has held dear for decades let's not forget that the over whelming consensus for much of u.s. foreign policy over the last 50 years has actually been fairly bipartisan in nature this whipsaw who's in who's out is distracting and it obscures the broader point that what we're really talking about here is a retreat of american power from the world at a time when alliances are rupturing the world over there is a trump here there's a do territory and we are outside lee general that i'm going to have to disturb you that i want to thank our guests join join scott lucas and jenna venue to and thank you to forging you can see the program again any time by visiting a web site al jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a.j.
