12:30 am
and as we hold the taliban to these commitments, we're continuing to work with, with other governments, with financial institutions, with n jose to ease the flow of humanitarian assistance to afghans whose life depended on it. and so while holly week maybe winding down the relentless diplomacy the president talked about, well here the un around the world that continues and it will every single day. one very last point i had the chance to meet today with my french counterpart, johnny williams. and we have been at multiple meetings together this week, the p 5, the g 20, the meeting that he hosted with german italian counterparts on libya. our meeting today followed yesterdays conversations between president biden and president micro where they agreed that the september 15th announcement would have benefited from open consultations among allies and they decided on a process as in depth consultations going forward. we recognize this will take time
12:31 am
and hard work and will be demonstrated not only in words, but in deeds, and i'm committed to working closely with minister delivery on, on this crucial effort. on a personal note, i would just add that he and i had been friends for a long time, someone i hold in great, great esteem. with that, i'm happy to take your questions. we'll start with probably i would i want to start with a question on haiti, special on boy for haiti, daniel foot resign this morning or this week, and he called the by the administrations in humane decision to deport haitian refugees and deeply flawed us haiti policies. i'm wondering if you had a discussion with him before accepting his resignation. and if you view it as
12:32 am
humane to deportation, migrants considering that families coming to the u. s. seeking asylum should have a legal basis to say here in the united states. and then i have a 2nd question widening the aperture there, there's been a tremendous amount of criticism of the by to ministrations handling of multiple foreign policy issues. recently, the chaotic withdraw from afghan stan, this new security agreement between australia, the u. s. me, u k. that rage, the french, the border crisis, the refugees from haiti, stunted iran deal talks, it appears the administration has miss, managed a lot of these issues and what's your response to that? so starting with haiti. first, let me say this. i want to thank dan foot for his service, his long time service you've heard about the disagreements that he had with the
12:33 am
administration on, on his policy. but i have to say, i appreciate the passion that he brought to the role on the passion that he brought to, to, to his work. and i think we actually see on the fundamental need to support the haitian people to buttress hayes democracy. the fact is there have been multiple senior level conversations on haiti where all proposals, including those up, put forward by special envoy foot were fully considered in a rigorous and transparent process. and ultimately the role of the president's cabinet. the role of his advisors is to provide him with the best advice possible. we don't ignore ideas. we, we look at them, we consider them. but we have
12:34 am
a policy process. and one that, in our case is very conclusive. but it's designed ultimately to decide which ideas would be effective and advancing our agenda to make recommendations to the president and as need be. the president decides in that disagreements inevitably arise, people bring strongly held views to pretty much every issue that we deal with. and especially when it's an issue that engenders real, real passion, like haiti, the level of desperation among the migrants is something that can help us powerfully affect all of us. and so i, i, i really understand the, the passion that comes with this. and i understand dance passion,
12:35 am
but that's also why both on a personal level and institutionally. we are committed to doing all we can to support the people who have now and, and going forward. we have an extraordinary ambassador in portal press michelle system. we have a newly confirmed, i'm happy to say assistant secretary of state for western hemisphere affairs, brian nichols who travel the haiti and together investor system system. secretary nichols will be leading our efforts along with the remarkable work done by the us agency for international development and administrator power and, and her team. so this is very much a focus of our, of our efforts. i would say additionally, and obviously i refer to for you to other colleagues including a t h s on some of these questions. but one of the very unfortunate developments
12:36 am
that we've seen is that in a variety of ways, in righty of places, some people are misinforming patients, whether in haiti or haitians residing and other countries that they can come to the united states and, and state. because of the temporary protected status that was granted the patients who are already here some months ago. and that misinformation is very, very unfortunate because it's causing people to make very hazardous journeys to put themselves in danger, to expose themselves further to, to cobra. 1900, among other things based on the erroneous information that they can, they can come and stay. so we're, we're working very hard, besides working to take care of patients to make sure that
12:37 am
people understand that they can't do that. second broader question. look, we could spend time talking about each of the each of the specifics you referenced . but what i've heard here this week, especially in the wake of the, the president's speech was hey, very strong and view almost across the board with everyone that i spoke to about their appreciation and their support for the vision that the president biden put forward. in speaking to, to the general assembly, the united states that is determined to work closely with other countries, the united states that understands that not a single one of the big problems and challenges we face that are people face months
12:38 am
. we've talked about from cova decline to disruptive impact technologies. not a single one can be addressed by any of us acting alone, including the united states that we put a premium on working with others. and we put a premium on on diplomacy and the emphasis the focus that he's given to dealing with covered 19 and to to dealing with climate change was resonated throughout this institution. but so did the emphasis that he put on multilateralism and on standing up for, for human rights and democracy. and reminding all of us that at the heart of this entire system that we've all signed onto our people, individuals, not just the nation state. so looking for, you know, as i said, we can talk about each of these specifics, but i've gotta tell you what i, what i, what i've been hearing the last couple of days in response to the president's speech and the direction that he's taking us in was extremely positive and
12:39 am
extremely supportive of the united states. if we need to move on, i'm sorry, very liberal. thank you for taking my question. so you met with the foreign minister. early on this morning to discuss the crisis, the french minister said that ending the crisis like what would take time and would require actions. so could you be more specific, sorry. what kind of specific actions did you discuss and then could be taken in the coming months in shared interest. and also it's a question about india, the qualities and gathering to tomorrow and miranda moody and then i spoke together 2 days ago and they have a partnership as you know, quite wide. would you welcome nuclear submarine williams between the 2 countries. thank you. thank you. just
12:40 am
a couple of things 1st and generally speaking, as i, as i noted, we are working now at the direction of president macro and president by on a process of, in the consultations on a series of issues moving forward to in very practical ways deepen the, the cooperation and coordination between our countries, which for many years and in many ways already remarkably strong. but we can do more and we can do better. i think that we very much welcome european engagement and french engagement and leadership in the pacific. and that's a point to that barriers emphasis the european union strategy
12:41 am
that that came out on the end of pacific few days ago. strategy in which france played a leading role in developing is one that we very, very strongly. well, we're going to put out our own revised strategy in the months ahead. it will be very much informed by what the european union has done with france is very, very strong input. and so one area where we will look to deepen our cooperation collaboration is in the pacific and there are many ways in which we can do that. similarly, we're working already incredibly closely together in this house, standing together against terrorism, france just a few days ago as well. killed a senior terrorist leader who threatened both of us and that was very important and significant action following on the work that transferred us
12:42 am
every day to protect our security and help with the strong support in collaboration, united states. we will look at ways to do even more together in this help. and of course, we will talk about a transit planet because security in european security, we very much support efforts. the france feels strongly about and has let on to strengthen european security and defense capacity as necessary to, to increase defense budgets to do it. of course, in conformity with nato. but it's, it's very much in our interest and in europe's interest for those capacities to, to be strengthened. we applaud the, the work, the leadership that the transit show, the president my car, shown in this effort as well. so these are all things that we will no doubt be
12:43 am
talking about as well as work that we've been doing together in many other parts of the world where we have very strongly shared shared interests. and i'm not going to get into any specific hypotheticals about the future. but let me, let me simply say that both france in the united states have very strong interest in, in strengthening even more our respective relationships with india. this is something that, that we strongly support shawn tendon. thank you, mr. secretary, could i ask you about iran? as you know, the new foreign minister was here and we were told you on to meet with him. but from your, your read of him from the european leaders who did meet with them. do you think that we have that is the path to resume nuclear talks and to resume the to revive
12:44 am
the g. c p. away. at what point you think time will run out and pick it up and they come into main enough. cornerstone earlier you said that you made a concerted effort on not giving them the telephone legitimacy unless you know, unless there's in this, this progress made or do you believe that the world's on board of that included countries like like china, my pockets on and all the countries that thank you. great. thanks. so few things on, on our, on our special invoice for ron rob valley was here as well. throughout the week. i had a very productive few days in new york and has back to washington. we don't have yet an agreement by iran to return to the talks in vienna were very much prepared to return to the enter to continue the talks. and the question is whether and if so, when iran is as prepared to do that, we have been very sincere and very steadfast in pursuing
12:45 am
a passes of meaningful diplomacy to get back to mutual compliance with the j c p. and also to address the full range of concerns that we and many other countries have with, with iran. we continue to believe that returned to me for compliance with the agreement is in our interest. it's the best available option to restrict around nuclear program. and to provide a platform to address its other destabilizing activities. but as i said on, on a few occasions recently that possibility of getting back to mutual compliance is not indefinite. and the challenge right now is that with every passing day, as iran continues to take actions that are not in compliance with the agreement, particularly building a larger stockpiles of highly enriched uranium to 20 percent,
12:46 am
even to 60 percent. and spinning faster centrifuges, we will get to a point at some point in the future at which simply returning to mutual compliance with the j. c. bo, it will not recapture the benefits of the agreement because it parabola made too much progress in its program. that would not be reversed simply by returning to the terms of j, c, p. so this is something that our allies in partners also known and agree with. and the question is whether around is prepared to come back and engage meaningfully in these talks. we, we wait an answer on that and i'm sorry, the 2nd part of your question. yes. i think there is very strong unity of approach in unity of purpose. and of course, it's not just me saying it's reflected in the security council resolution that was
12:47 am
passed just a couple of weeks ago on august 30th. that sets out clearly the expectations of the security council when it comes to the the taliban. so conduct going forward again on freedom of travel on making good on commitments to not allow again, it's going to be used as a launching pad for terrorism on upholding basic rights, including for women and girls and minorities allowing and indeed protecting mandatory assistance. and of course, and having a inclusive governance. so that's in a security council resolution. beyond that, we've had well over a 100 countries making clear the same expectations of the taliban. and in bursley, all of the conversations that i've had in different groupings of either individually
12:48 am
or in different groups of countries, including at the, at the security council, i think the international community writ large is looking to the taliban to make good on those commitments. and so we'll see the, the bottom line is this again the, the taliban says that it seeks legitimacy that seek support from the international community. the relationship that it has with the international community is going to be defined by the actions it takes. that's what we're, we're looking for and it's again, not just us, it's the security council, and it's countries around the world 60 say to and he began their rounding up for some of the issues that have been discussed during what he said were meetings with around 60 countries on the margins of the you in general assembly and he stressed to the u. s. is determined effort to either to revitalize alliances and partnerships, but that all in the context of around with,
12:49 am
from cyber security arrangement that was reached with the u. s. u. k. and australia that annoyed the french on that he said that he had met his counterpart to relate literally all. and that the september 15th announcement would have benefited from consultations beforehand. it's bringing christine salumi, who's live at the u. n. so a lot of emphasis on what he described as relentless to diplomacy in the bottom phrase. but a lot of problems in some of these areas to, to paper over absolutely, he stressed the message that was 1st conveyed by joe biden. and his speech to the general assembly of relentless diplomacy, highlighting the fact that he had met with more than 60 countries, representatives of more than 60 countries in his days here in new york at the general assembly. whether it be in bilateral meetings or formal meetings, many of them taking place on the subject of afghanistan. and he said that
12:50 am
international cooperation was going to be key to addressing major issues like coven and climate. but yes, you're right. he took a lot of questions and from the international press about issues that some allies have seen as contradicting that statement, whether it's the french route and the french feeling left out. a traditional ally of the united states of that security agreement with australia, brokered by the united states and the you can you k or whether it's afghan, a stand and the united states hasty withdraw there. but blinking, seeking to emphasize the positive in terms of afghanistan, pointing to recent agreement in the security council on the situation. they are saying that there was broad agreement on some basic principles having to do with afghanistan, including allowing people to come and go from the country at will,
12:51 am
including respecting human rights, particularly for women and girls, and also for unimpeded humanitarian access. choosing to focus on these broad areas of agreement. but for those of us who've been following the discussions here at the united nations, of course, we know that the united states and certainly some of its western allies have been pushing for stronger language in the council. there's certainly more that they'd like to see done, particularly when it comes to women and girls. but again, the u. s. stretch. stressing this multilateral approach. kristen salumi. thank you very much. indeed. no, it won't. first, a year been union is planning to impose a universal challenges, all brands of mobile phones, tablets, and headphones. the proposal is popular with consumers and environmentalists, but tech john apple has warned it could stifle innovation. charlie angela has a jumble of different charges in a top drawer. many homes have them and it's

towards to stay in ability and promises to safe consumers $293000000.00 a year in unnecessary purchases. the 2nd part of the proposal is that new charges aren't automatically sold in the same box with new electronic devices but both separately. and that the charging speed of cables is standardized. move environmentalists a welcoming when it's wasted. a lot of toxic substances in which leach and soils into water and hazardous to the people that are disposing of waste as well. it's like less to move our mental benefits from this movie tiny, it's small, but it's absolutely below within that model of the electronics industry, they will some proprietary technology and in the semester, which is through the consumption. if the proposal is adopted by the parliament and count so it could be law by 2022 companies will then have 2 years to adopt the devices. the consumer electronics giant. apple says the standardization will affect
