ah, if you ask leaders across europe, which country poses the greatest danger, many will say russia just as they have done for decades. but if you pose the same question to nato, the answer you're receive will be russia and china. today for the 1st time in its history, nato said that it is worried about trying is growing, military might in a, those communicate issue. today, china is not referred to as a threat, but it is clear when native looks at beings plans for the future. what it sees is without question, a threat. i break off and berlin. this is the day the but i'm not looking for conflict with russia. i think we will respond of russia continues to foreign collectivity. one hand,

we need to turn some defense. on the other hand, dialogues very important. russia and china are both seeking to drive a wedge in our trans atlantic solidarity. china's arrival in many issues and china is also a partner and many other issues. and we will not fail to defend the trans atlantic alliance. we're stand up for democratic values. ah, also coming up, israel has a new government and a new prime minister and a new foreign policy. and this is apparently very important for democrats in the united states. just listen to israel's new foreign minister regarding the republicans are important to us, but not just then. as you well know, we are facing a democratic white hands, a democratic senate, and a democratic congress. the mccarthy. when these democrats angry and we need to change, and we work with them to this level done with the,

to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with nato and china today for the 1st time in its history, the north atlantic treaty organization put in writing. what many of its members have been saying for years. people are worried over and aggressive china and the end of a one day somebody brussels native release. they communicate that without labeling china. a threat describes china as one us. president joe biden has been lobbying us allies, including native to stand up to shine as aggressive tact nato secretary general in stoughton. big said today that while the alliance does not see china as an enemy, it is concerned about beijing's ambitions and assertive behavior. this is definitely a policy when for president biden, because many of nato's european members have had a very different experience with b gene than washington has had. germany's export economy relies heavily on ties

with the world's 2nd largest economy. today, german chancellor uncle america chose not to focus on the complex relationships, but rather on the clear and obvious threats from china, such as cyber attacks. you know, see vala and fusion. china is a rival in many issues and at the same time, also a partner in many issues. we made that clear at the g 7 yesterday. i think it's really important that we offer china the chart for political discussions and to find solutions. this is like we deal with russia, but when the threats are still there, also these hybrid threat nato has to be ready for this da da, almost none of us not to give up and say, if a more analysis dale, i'm joined by my time fun fits from the german marshal fund of the united states, he's also the deputy director, the paris office. it's good to have you on the program. i mean, making it official that china is

a worry that could not have been easy for all nato members. do you agree with that? well, there's been a convergence of perception, both among policy leaders and among the populations on both sides of the atlantic for more than a year. now that china is indeed a challenge system, a challenge to europe and north america. so in that sense, the need to some, it came as a completion of a long process that, that led to communicate with their though that if you look at the community, they are basically 2 paragraphs that deal with china. one that declares that china is to make a shipping competitor and other one well supposed to be to, to engage china on issues where cooperation is possible in climate change being one of them. so the community remains quite valid on the way allies can, can engage with china in the future. i mean, if you look at what's coming out,

especially in this communicate, does it, does it mean that they're going to be tangible changes to what nato does mean? can we talk about tangible changes coming because of this? i think the company is in very much in continuing to what has been said before. if you look again at the number of times china has been mentioned, it's basically 2 paragraphs rush i mention in more than a dozen paragraphs. so thinking that china has somehow replaced russia as the main threat to the airline is full and not relevant at this point. but it's very important what happened today, the confirmation that in the coming year, nato will work on a new strategy concept at the last one dating from 2010. and so the new strategy concept will, in a way to define this tragic environment in which the alliance operate today and define the relationship i have with china. in the coming year will be when a potential changes will be made. we are heard in just the last couple of hours

from the us president saying that em, ukraine has to clean up its act, get rid of corruption if he wants to become a member of nato. but the u. s. president did say if it wants to become a member of nato, are you surprised by that state again, i think we are very much in continuity to what we, what, what has been said before. the communicate re state the fact that the need to wants to welcome georgia crane as me 2 members, one day. but that they are debt to be filled before that happens. so coming back to the need to send me to an aide, i don't think this has changed. fundamentally, i should say also that this decision need the consensus among allies, and we don't have the conferences today. so i wouldn't read too much in what has happened over the past hour, so about ukraine's membership. do you see that? since there is no consensus regarding ukraine, do you see this as possibly an attempt by the ukranian president zelinski to put

pressure on the us president to help bring his country into nato? i think obviously the ukrainians are very much in favor of accelerating this. this membership process and knowing that there is be an important meeting between the president vitamin present, putting in 2 days. now. this is also a bowman to affirm ukraine's desire to enter the alliance, but looking again on the other, communicate and prism by them. a response to you to the questions during the press briefing, i think we should remain quite cautious. martin can say from the german marshal fund of the united states, joining us tonight in paris. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. and i think, you know, we need more vaccines, just a fraction of the world's population has been vaccinated. we need vaccines to go globally,

particularly in low and middle income countries. and our vaccine is uniquely suited for that because the stable at refridgerated normal refrigerator temperatures, and that will help that was stanley ur. the ceo of the u. s. company novak which today reported that its cobit 19 vaccine clinical trials have shown a 100 percent efficacy rate and preventing moderate or severe coven. 19. the number of ex vaccine could be a game changer, but not in the united states. it's like the astrazeneca vaccine only requires normal refrigeration, making transport and storage easier, especially in poorer countries. unlike astrazeneca, there have been no scares with deadly side effects. for more now, i'm joined by helen clark. she is the former prime minister of new zealand and co chair of the independent panel for pandemic preparedness and response into the w h

o cobit 19 response. ms. clark is good to have you on the program. you are an outspoken supporter of an equitable distribution of the corona virus vaccine for everybody on the planet. today's news from nova acts is this is step in your opinion in the right direction. will it provide more equality if you will? well, as it is exciting, and let's face it in the very late times of pandemic, one of the highlights has been science are rising to the occasion to bring vaccines to us as a record speed understand novak's has yet to go through the w h o approval process, but what we're hearing is promising and to the menu of acceptable and the effect seems that are now on offer to help fix the world. and we get the impression that nova vax is now being sold as the new astrazeneca vaccine. we know that astrazeneca

the vaccine was supposed to be the work course vaccine for kovacs, for getting people in poor countries vaccinated. but there are so many concerns about astrazeneca now do you see novak's as being the redeemer here? as us, i, it needs to go through, it's w h o approval processes and i wouldn't want to really compare with them. no, it's beyond my expertise. but i think the more approach vaccines that we have, the greater chance is of reaching that target. the w h o is now sick of having 70 percent of the world's population vaccinated by the time of the next g. 7 saw next june. you tweeted a couple of days ago that the g seven's curve in 1900 vaccine pledge was and i'm quoting here too small too slow in too narrow. why? well that, that was a direct quote from us financial times a report,

but i think generally reception that the outcome his head is that it's been a disappointing look. it's in the right direction, releasing more doses, looking to support scale the manufacturing. but, but the need is now, if we look at the $70000000.00 does, which g 7 pledged the countries will supply by sometime the next year. with that, that's not enough. el panel called for a 1000000 asses to be risk redistributed by september of this year and another 1000000000 by mid next year. now of course there are other high and comes countries from the the g 7. but the g 7 of the big ones, a big population get colonies and they were, of course, they expected to stump up rather more than the 70000000 doses. in the year. i repeat, we need 70 percent of the global population vaccinated by mid next year. this huge concern

w a show about the slowness of vaccination and the potential then for more and more challenging variance to be coming out and undermining of the limited success of the vaccine. rollouts of your panel has also called for the establishment of a new global health threats council to be created by the un general assembly and to be led by heads of state and government. it's designed is, as i read here, it should secure political commitment to pandemic. preparedness and response, and it should also hold stakeholders to account. do you have any, any progress to report on that? the global health front council, which the panel recommended this getting favorable, mentions and communicate in including in the g 7 in a recent di. so there is a lot of interest in how you bring over all accountability and political momentum to pandemic preparedness response. what a panel was really worried about was when,

at some point we get past the spend, then it will wholly issue of preparedness or response. just get on the back burner again. this must not happen. we can expect more threats like covered night in to be coming down with track f us, particularly with the increasing emergence of these animals, human transmission diseases. so we have to strike while we on toss and put them lice, an infrastructure like such an oversight council, which will keep the momentum. now. the g 20 has a high level task force. also looking at such issues. marian multi is leading the commission for the european region of w h o. they also have ideas. so we're talking about now so about where ideas will converge. but bottom line, we need a global accountability making this you say strike while the iron is hot. last week i was in the united states, and once you leave the airports there, in many places,

it's as if there had never been a pandemic. how worried are you that the success of the vaccines will lead to their simply being less pressure on governments in the you, when to prepare for the next pandemic? well, personally, i'm very worried and i think we should look at the northern hemisphere somehow with some apprehension the last northern hit him a c, as some of people went kinda crazy and holiday party. and that lead to another is so serious, awful waves of, of cobra. now let's face it, in many countries on all the handles. we know we're in the most countries having 2 doses of vaccine. so this creates opportunities more transmissible there like the still to there it just seemed to be 67 percent more transmissible than the the bear the wind before that, this is not scenario. and this is what w i chose,

what stress, we need more vaccines roll help. now we can't delay till next year. the time is now to try and risk us. otherwise we're going to be living with a pen demik phase of this disease. for far too long and a great cost to human life and health health, clark, former prime minister of new zealand, and co chair of the independent panel for condemning preparedness in response to the w h. as cobra, 1900 response is clark. it was an honor there. have you on the show. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. the it was day one on the job for israel's new coalition government today. after winning sundays, razor it's invoked alex the long time prime minister benjamin netanyahu. his replacement, ultra nationalist of poly bennett now leads a fragile alliance of 8 parties and he's promising a fresh start for whom you may ask. we'll try the democrats in the united states.

we have this report. the faces of israel's new governmental, incoming prime minister, natalie bennett, and his coalition assembled after on seats in the veterans benjamin netanyahu. us president joe biden, cole prime minister bennett on sunday to wish him well. israel wants to refresh the relationship following the recent change of administration. in washington county, you know, there is now a democratic white house senate and house and those democrats angry. we need to change the way we work with them because last night i spoke with secretary of state antony blink. and we both got even possible and imperative to build relations based on a mutual respect and better dialogue. they've all got calls to germany, france and the e. u. the new bennett lead government still faces the old tensions with the palestinians who welcomed netanyahu's departure. but see the new israeli leadership as hardly different nor learn out better. we don't consider the new government to

be any better than its predecessors when we condemn the announcement by the new prime minister miss tally bennett, of support for settlement activity. and we reiterate that our people will continue to confront those settlement attempt that were made by his predecessor and let the model to her self. i love you, the predecessor did not immediately take in some implications, but he would change. after 12 years at the helm, benjamin netanyahu needed to be reminded that the prime minister seat was no longer his show, but he's already plotting his return to power because we have a very strong opposition, unlike any other in the past. around 53, connect that members may be more in certain situations, united and determined to bring down business dangerous left wing, and fraudulent governmental, which will fall quickly after voting in 4 inconclusive elections. and under 2 years,

israelis are divided over the new government. and now i believe in this government, and i know it was formed from serious motives to make a change here. and it will be here for a long time. is there any money now? she's left a message with the test. it will be mentioned on the side of it. there's nothing new under the sun that all corrupt on both sides, if they prove otherwise, i'll believe them all did the same trick as netanyahu. i thought of israel's political climate remains shaky. a huge challenge for the new administration from the get go. well my next guess is we'll place to talk about the historic change of government in israel. he's the author of the book, jews, and palestinians in the late autumn and era, 19 weight, 914 claiming the homeland. i'm happy to welcome to the day professor lewis fishman

historian and author. he joins us tonight from new york city professor. it's good to have you on the program. i'd like to start where you are the united states and the democrats. what do you make of this promise, israeli charm offensive targeting democrats? well, i think that, i think, 1st of all, i think what's most important about this new government is they're not gonna be reaching out to democrat. they've been reaching out to the overwhelming amount of american jews who vote for democrats. i think this is going to be a lining once again, the democrat party with, with the large amount of jews that actually vote for them over the last 4 years before you are doing the truck perez and nothing. you know, sort of the very slim, you know, community of republican and evangelicals, much to the dismay of into a community. so i think they're working on repairing relations, not just with washington, but also with the american jewish community, including the reform community. that is the largest community that exist today in

united states. so i think that they're going to have their challenges, but they're coming with a really open mind. they're coming to listen and not to dictate. and i think that's an important change. now on the iran is not going to be a major at different years of the incoming part minister has already spread disappointment with the form of writing agreement with us to run agreement. but once again, i stress that they are coming to listen and not like nothing, you know, who was used to dictating policy. much the dismay of many democrats. well, i mean, we were looking at is really foreign policy, but the united states, are we talking about the antidote for the nation yahoo effect or is this the answer to i'm for the trump effect? well, i actually think the to go together. that's the way it's not been, you know, i've been able to maneuver between the different leaders, but no democratic leader has been happy with nothing. you know,

they've been with them. but they did not have a common language, i would say. and now for the 1st time, certainly don't want to be in going to find, i think, a very warm welcome here in the united states is not by chance that they receive calls from, from, from binding from lincoln yesterday. so i do think that there is going to be a welcome to the welcome change in the united states, seen the new government and once again, knowing that yeah, they're a bit younger my experience, i have to say that nothing but in, on the same token that might find a really nice, welcoming a carpet here for them in the united states as well. and considering what has happened in the last few weeks as well as the last few years. and i'm talking about what's happened between israel and hamas. one could expect a new israeli government to say publicly, we want to improve relations with the palestinian. the that's not what we're

hearing. so what does that tell you? you know, i think we have to give this government, you know, a 100 days of grace period. there's no doubt the for the overwhelming majority constantly and not much is going to change in the ground in the next few months. but i think with every passing day that the government succeeds in creating some stability, that too is going that door is going to be open. we know now how they've been in it's far right. we're not expect you much change. but certainly that, that slide, the slide to authoritarianism that nothing y'all is bringing the country was one very detrimental to the future. the country itself. i think israeli and even town didn't need to understand that it might take a few years. i would imagine that if you month to year getting back on track. if this government last more than a year, it's hard to say it might. we will month to month. what do you think? what really know if there is any military confrontation being that this is the

story government that also has ref, representation, the balancing in the state, their 20 percent, that they there is now in the wrong family party in the government. so we're going to have to wait and see, but i do think there is a reason to believe that they are serious in making it work. and if that happened, there can be the magic change over the next 6 months, 6 months, a year. i would say, well, we're going to be a better transformation of what's happening on the ground. also for palestinians, by no means doesn't mean that they're going to in the occupation or anything like that. but i think is ways are coming to the conclusion that you know what nothing you know brought to nothing. you brought them use the peace and quiet, give them a group rate may didn't lose it as

the, as the conflict disappear, that there was no conflict. but for the jews there was a low maintenance conflict for the palestinian that remainder high maintenance conflict. and we saw what happened last month, and that was really a really with eye opener to raise the conflict. it's still there and they do need to go back the negotiation about this new government is led by a man, as you say, who is more to the right the netanyahu? is that a true reflection of the israeli people? well i think the overall, let's face it, if not been, you know, i had step down there could have been a right. we government of 70 so that the reality is that it is rainy. right? has been great and under not been, you know, but not been, you know, was great at doing one thing didn't mind being the left and the internet. and i really think that if the government succeeds, people like we see the labor party,

the merits party, and all the palestinians in the state, they are also gaining legitimacy. this government. so we're going to have to see and actually might this government lead ironically, lead by far right now was, might give the less time to reorganize and to build their base again. okay, the basement historian and author joining us tonight from new york city. mr. fisher, we appreciate your time and your insight tonight. thank you. thank you. over they is always done. the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter w news. you can call me at brent golf t v. and remember, whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day we'll see, you then use, ah,
