most in the foreign-policy elite are prepared to wait him out competent that the pre-trump foreign-policy could be reconstituted and that the american people will go back to tolerating open-ended military missions and costly foreign entanglements. there are alternatives to trump summoned what came before. walton explores them here and he outlines the case for american foreign policy based on realism and restraint in the calls its offshore balancing. before he tells you more about the book let me tell you of it about steve. he is the robert and renee belford professor of international affairs at the harvard kennedy school. he recently taught at princeton university and the university of chicago where he mastered the collegiate division and the dean of social sciences. he is been a resident associate at the carnegie -- for peace and served as consultant for defense and naval analysis and the national defense university. presently serves on the editorial board for foreign-policy where he writes regularly in his most recent piece over the weekend. he he writes their regular is where his inter

or were you just reaching the foreign-policy elite? that is one of my concerns because i have a feeling that his base doesn't really care about the foreign-policy an in e sense that we do. second, what kind of president do you think we need after to clean up the mess? >> the first one is easier to answer than the second. it is a broad representative sample of the population that includes a representative sample of pro- trump and a strong percentage and the remarkable thing, it doesn't matter whether you look at trade, allianz, it is the big difference between the trump supporters and everybody else. that is where the cleavages. now, two points to emphasize on. first and importantly, the american people were not experts on the foreign-policy. so you cannot overestimate the degree to which they know about the foreign-policy. but don't underestimate how much they understand, and they do understand very fundamental concepts in the polling for almost 50 years, 45 years demonstrates that. second thing, americans do not vote on the basis of t

foreigners to give money to u.s. political parties there was an instance during the sixteen campaign that was revealed in the d.n.c. or able to protest the e-mails that we could leaks released which showed that there were foreign foreigners living inside the us working for american companies that were donating and they weren't sure whether they should take or not looks like in the end they did so that's kind of the reverse it was an american company would a foreign national here i can answer the question unless i knew what companies they were really if they had an interest side or the other that they think that the proposed legislation of one of the other parties would help whatever their business is within the u.s. i think that would be the motive and that's why american companies give money to both parties because they want the kind of legislation that they sometimes themselves write that will reduce regulations or open a market somewhere who helps their business that's what they're after it is helping their busine

[speaking foreign language] ms. ros-lehtinen: when we fight for human rights and democracy and the need for freedom, we are speaking on behalf of so many oppressed people. we need to be that voice and instrument of change and we need to remind everyone who is in leadership and everybody that the united states must always be that shining city on the hill. we must always value our principles of freedom and democracy. we must northwesterly lose sight of that. we cannot be ruled by any other principle than be guided by the truth and the light and that is freedom, democracy and human rights. and that is what these fine gentlemen stands for. carl, that is so meaningful. i don't have an office to hang it on, but i will put it on my become.

foreign policy. he is very skeptical of nato. he's skeptical in attitude about international engagement even though he engaged. i wonder what the relationship is between the trump foreign-policy if you can state with that is. it's hard to tell. how do you assess the trump foreign-policy? >> a lot of questions. for any of the things -- >> i answer what you don't -- >> first, president trump, when he was candidate jump, he ran against liberal hegemony. there were three elements. democracy all over the world, he made it clear, you're getting that in the business of doing that. never two, purveying a open international economic order. he made it very clear that he likes tariffs and he was interested in countering this open international economic order which you heard of. ... . >> by the end of his term he admitted he felt burned by it. >> no question. and that captures that. >> with any resistance. >> so what you have now is committed to liberal hegemony and you have a handful who are up against the establishment. so the question is

known but mr trump's responses provoked strong responses from both sides of the aisle the senate foreign relations committee has asked for an inquiry that specifically looks into the crown prince's role in the merger turkey says it may push for an international inquiry its foreign minister saying there shouldn't be a cover up to maintain trade ties with riyadh hartmann go live now to our white house correspondent kimberly haokip she's in washington d.c. and kimberly so it sounds very much as a this whole process is now being driven by members of congress. it certainly is being driven by members of congress who have the power to hold the white house in check as part of the u.s. constitution the president for his part is now on his thanksgiving holiday the american holiday he has heading towards the golf course we're told but was tweeting just before he left in fact saying that the oil prices are getting lower thank you to saudi arabia let's go lower so doubling down on his posture the saudi arabia is a friend an ally of the united states even as the u.s. congress is questioning that relat

he sees, that we do, that foreign assistance tools are an important part of american foreign-policy. in style, he is a former member of congress like i am, so he analyzes things in a strategic political way like i do. we find it easy to communicate about challenges and opportunities we see to build bipartisan support around america's foreign-policy. >> you have spoken about the clear choice doctrine, which is the united states presents this option to countries where aid is needed. there is a clear choice if they choose china as a partner that they are mortgaging the future to that country, and there is a clear choice if they choose the .nited states as an aid partner philosophies meet you'relear choice when trying to recruit countries to take aid from the united states and not from china, but at the same time you want to get out of the aid business eventually in those countries? don't view clear choice as trying to get countries to take our aid. as choosing choice a model of self-reliance. we are trying to help countries theirhemselves, to build own capacity, to be more citizen respo

the second thing is that americans do not vote on the basis of foreign foreign-policy. it is extraordinarily rare and requires a huge political crisis for foreign-policy to play a role. if you look at the election campaign and the ads and everything else. so just because there is a sentiment publicly that says you can have an international foreign-policy. does it mean you can't win on the platform of protectionism and what donald trump has. it does mean transaction to the next question that there is at least a basis for having an international foreign-policy that shouldn't mean you are there. you don't have to become protectionist to win an election it is not going to win an election on it. advice i once got for each career. be very careful in who you pick as your predecessor. the next president of the united states could be the luckiest man or woman around. they very much hope that america will return to the kind of foreign-policy it has pursued over the last 70 years. what the right tactics were. american leadership was something that resonated around the world. you g

on foreign policy. you cannot overestimate to agree to which they know about foreign policy. they shouldn't. don't underestimate how much they understand. they do understand very fundamental content. pulling for 50 years demonstrates that. americans do not vote on the basis of foreign policy. it's extraordinarily rare and requires a huge political crisis or foreign-policy crisis to play a role. place neural. if you look at the election campaign and added everything else, you know that is the case. just because there is a sentiment publicly, that says you can have an international foreign policy, doesn't mean you can't win on a platform of protectionism and what donald trump has. it does mean transition to the next question. there is at least a basis for having an internationalist foreign policy session mean you don't have to become protections. election. there had to be against tv to win. you can be in favor of it if you make the case. you're just not going to win election. >> to timing. i want to chime in. you need to be careful on who you pick as your predecessor.

on november the twelfth he raised the issue with both crown prince mohammed bin zeid and the foreign minister incidentally also in the emirates last week a u.k. trade minister with fifteen british companies promoting economic ties between the two countries u.a.e. is the fifth largest trading partner for the u.k. outside europe coming after us a japan china and hong kong and bilateral trade is now growing in double digits in october the u.s. ambassador to the u.k. said there is hope of bilateral trade reaching twenty five billion pounds by twenty twenty it is currently at over seventeen billion so could the price tag of this long term cooperation and being worth more than ruffling feathers over the fate of one citizen problem for trees are going to talking at the moment bridges or taking back control reasserting so foreign to you and puts them in a dilemma they don't want to be seen to be weak on an issue like this abroad but on the other hand they also need to be building economic bridges. the e.u. maybe again the government of the emirates is thinking the british can possibly push t

legislation a legislation about foreign affairs and that they don't usually override a presidential veto but i can tell you that there is bipartisan anger about this you've had senators come out powerful senators in the issue of foreign relations they've come out and directly said the crown prince mohammed bin solomon did this and he personally needs to be held accountable so it's they're not going to do anything this week it's a holiday week here in the united states but expect that legislation to be taken up and the big question is going to be just how big of a vote can they get just like with the russian sanctions they had huge levels of support so the president had to sign it because even if he had tried to veto it it would have been overridden and it would have looked bad for him considering what the special counsel is investigating now the other thing the other question is the white house isn't in charge of this completely they can't just make it go away it's not only congress we believe the special counsel is looking at potential ties between the trunk campaign and saudi arab

foreign policy chief erica mortgage rainy and the e.u. and enlargement commissioner your highness can this comes as the first high level talks between turkey and the european union are being held in ankara the first ones in nearly two years the talks focused of course on turkey's a session process to the e.u. but also as we heard on foreign policy issues such as the war in syria iraq the middle east peace process and the tensions across the gulf both sides both the e.u. and turkey have described their relationship as strong and that their partnership is crucial for the stability of the region the meeting coming i made recent calls from some european union politicians for the turkey e.u. talks to be halted altogether because they say it's not realistic for turkey to join the e.u. any time soon the e.u. foreign policy chief eric i'll give any saying earlier that she is concerned about the continued detention of academics and civil rights activists in turkey she called on the release of the highly the saladin dimittis the leader of the main

foreign office according to the leak the u.k. has been funding an operation that prompted public opinion makers to promote anti russian narratives on social media or by planting planting stories in the press the british government has apparently been running those since twenty fifteen through proxy organizations it's called the operation integrity initiative now this initiative is not confined to just the u.k. you can see the map here for example it shows the already active cells if i may say so and they're really almost all across europe looks like a ground and expensive operation has supposed to fight what is so called russian this information and it is that it's expansive it as in all major powerhouses of europe but the key to understanding this is who they work with they say it's policy makers opinion shapers and so on and so forth and they are formed into clusters according to the documents this network has a very concrete structure influences are divided into clusters based on the geography of their activities there's a u.k

foreign office through a london based ngo the u.k. government has allegedly been working with opinion makers all across europe to promote anti russian narratives an effective network is best achieved by forming in each european country a cluster of well informed people from the political military academic journalistic and think tanks fears who track and analyze examples of this information in their country and inform decision makers and other interested parties about what is happening in clusters the key instrument of integrity initiative and a fairly powerful one as proven by the spanish cluster which has shown how the program gets things done back in twenty seventeen in the u.k. seemed surprisingly concerned with events playing out in spain's catalonia and london's keenness to see russia's hand in that bid for independence from spain so step one get public opinion on your side it's simple really you can write up a study yourself this close to produced a major study on russian influence in the catalan referendum process which was cir

the mission of these unregistered foreign agents -- that is what they are -- unregistered foreign agentsressure this president into some kind of deal. yousef: our guest is still with us. thinking that with the midterms out of the way in the u.s., it could open the door to negotiations and consensus with china. suggestst commentary sai otherwise. , you know,am sort of i don't think it is that easy that there is going to be an agreement between china and the u.s.. i am skeptical about that. i'm not sure this is so important. china has been reducing its leverage significantly. it is giving fiscal stimulus to prop up its lower income families, but these people do not import either commodities or capital. china is basically deleveraging because it is taking away credit from state-owned enterprises. that is what is happening with china. even if we have seen china to stabilize its currency over the last month -- that is what these reserve outflows show us -- china will also open the possibility to let its currency devalue. if the dollar is going to strengthen again against other emerging-market

so i'm so surprised when i see how many foreign owned firms donate millions to the u.s. midterm elections so my question to you would be what are they expecting to get in return for their money because there's no such thing as a free lunch and you know certainly in politics. well that's the truth there is so much commerce done in the united states particularly by foreigners in tour interspersed with american companies and on their own that they have an interest in the elections but most most foreign interests in the united states are very careful to steer clear of it there are many laws planted taken deep across the nation that keep foreign nationals from being involved in the elections even in ways and that are that are you know innocuous you know letting the employees off for that day or something like that but they certainly can't donate and they can't advocate so i think that the interests that they may have of the legal version are rooting only those that interfere in a different way and in an illegal way are caught and punished hopefully and then this is something

of the foreign office here in the u.k. for not acting quickly enough and strongly enough in the early months of matthew's detention she has been quite scathing about that i think the foreign office will hope that by bringing her and the foreign secretary together in one room to discuss the case they can iron out their differences and both proceed in the same direction and that is with the intention of securing matthews' release as quickly as possible because as you heard from the foreign secretary and you will hear you can hear the that what daniel daniela said which was that basically matthew is an innocent academic just there in the u.a.e. for two weeks of academic research for his ph d. thesis and that is a and that counts which is backed up by friends colleagues people that university where he was doing his thesis all saying that matthew is certainly not what he is alleged to be certainly not a spy for britain who brennen live in london thank. lebanon is marking its seventy fifth independence from france but critics sa

there's a feeling the foreign office want to see what the foreign office want to see what the other partsght entail before deciding what moves to take. the firstjob for jeremy hunt is to reassure daniela tejada that everything is indeed being done to secure matthew hedges' release. she is disappointed and angry and doesn't believe the foreign office did anything until she went public in october and forced it out into the open. the problem is the united arab emirates are adamant, they say they have proof that matthew hedges was spying for britain, they say he confessed in courtand for britain, they say he confessed in court and put his signature to a confession. the family says this was a result of extreme pressure on him bordering on frankly torture, but so far it is not obvious the united arab emirates is preparing or willing to back down from its position. paul adams, willing to back down from its position. pauladams, thank willing to back down from its position. paul adams, thank you. a major new report has highlighted the scale of mental illness suffered by children and young people i
